Technical support is knowledgeable and quick to respond
It is used for compliance Gathering information Scheduling It needs to have better reporting.  More than five years. We have not encountered any issues with stability. We have not encountered any issues with scalability. I would rate the technical support very well as they are…

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

"We have not encountered any issues with stability."
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is amazing."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is the dashboard."
"Splunk Enterprise Security definitely improved our operations."
"Exporting is a good feature. It helps me out when I have to do reports. I do a lot of exporting and crunching of the numbers. Dashboards are okay for showing to the leadership, but for doing statistics and updating tickets, the export feature is very beneficial for me."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
 

Cons

"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"
"​It needs to have better reporting. ​"
"It was very complex. There was poor native correlation."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
"The product is relatively expensive."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved with more AI in the commands and more help in the commands, as not all people know how to write code in SPL, and we need more help in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"It is possible to use a developer's license, which is up to 10GB per day of volume traffic, which is usually enough for most use cases."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Luckily, we come under a large federal agency, and before the pandemic, they signed a large enterprise license agreement. It worked out great and to our advantage because we are a small organization. We got a 300 gig license, and we just did not have the buying power to be able to get products cheaply. Because we all partnered together under the agency umbrella, we were able to get Splunk Enterprise Security, UBA, and ITSI for cheap. This was good considering the fact that some of these premium apps require a minimum number of users, and we do not have the number of people needed to even justify buying it."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
