Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"Splunk collects much more data as compared to traditional SNMP related tools, and log traces will eventually provide you much better and true information on which you can take actionable actions on top of it."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
"The incident review pane is the best part of it because that is where the SOC lives. It is the heartbeat of what the SOC needs to do. You are able to start the investigative process. As you are sitting in the incident review pane, you see the alert, and from that one alert, which is called a notable alert, you can drill in and see all the different specific details that are tied to that."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"Scalability-wise, the tool is awesome since you can add or reduce your resources in an easy way."
"It's extremely scalable, it's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
 

Cons

"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We can only increase the environment. For instance, with an ES server, we cannot make a cluster of ES. If you have two servers and want to make a cluster of these two servers for ES, that is not possible."
"My thoughts on the pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is that it is not cost-efficient; Splunk Enterprise Security is very costly compared to other market tools."
"One improvement I want to foresee is that the AI or agent needs to be fed with accurate data, not false data, so that whenever it performs automation on your behalf, it doesn't misconfigure anything."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"We're planning to incorporate UBA and SOAR. It would be good to have everything in one place."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
"They can improve their support teams. They can also improve their capability of ingesting data from different IoT sources."
"The user interface feels clunky to navigate and interact with in Splunk Enterprise Security compared to other case management solutions where it feels easier to use at a high level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"I assume that the pricing is reasonable, because if it was too costly, there are other alternatives."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"Splunk is a bit pricier, but the benefits and ROI are huge."
"Splunk is priced higher than other solutions."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
