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."
"We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"Correlation search, in general, is valuable because it allows us to search multiple data sources easily."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"We've seen quite extensive ROI, however, it's more of a qualitative assessment and I don't have numbers to share."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"If you want to understand how it can analyze or find out incidents, the visibility is good."
"It is a one stop shop as a full monitoring and alerting solution for operations and application analysis for most of our back-end systems."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"Most importantly, Splunk can be outrageously expensive. That is the problem with both Splunk and Sentinel. Their pricing literally explodes based on the amount of data you feed in."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states, and the ability to close a case, would be a key improvement."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"I'm not as familiar as I should be to answer how Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved, however, one of the improvement points that Enterprise Security could offer is on-prem training."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers a vast amount of information to learn and comprehend, resulting in a challenging initial learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also a support and maintenance charge."
"Splunk is definitely not a cheap solution. It is an expensive product."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
