We use Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service for security information, event management, and analytics. This has helped eliminate any external network attacks The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good. They are following the global…

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 solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"This is a product that I recommend for anybody who wants and advanced SIEM solutions."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helps improve our organization's business resilience because it is very useful for real-time monitoring and investigation."
"Log search and alerting/reporting."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"I recommend the solution and plan to continue using it."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"It's missing some features that other solutions have, such as the ability to upgrade the endpoint and perform endpoint universal forwarders from a deployment server instead of using a third-party solution, such as Puppet or Ansible."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"The customer support for Splunk Enterprise Security is bad, as the support never solves anything."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"Overall, I don't think that this is a very good product and I don't recommend it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by providing more training materials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"From what I have seen so far, Splunk has multiple cost models. The one that we are using is pretty good when it comes to ingesting data into the environment. It has worked out pretty well."
