It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

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

"Beautiful visualizations."
"It seemed to be fairly user friendly."
"I like the integration, so it's easy to integrate different data sources."
"This is a tool that gives more power to the user."
"This product is amazing and changes how people think of the relationship between IT and businesses."
"This solution is easy to use, and it is unbelievable to use for operations and exploration."
"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped greatly improve the organization's business resilience."
"It is definitely the best tool I've ever used, but nothing is perfect."
"It helps us to detect viruses and security events from our network."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped improve my organization's business resilience by fulfilling gaps in forensics, incident management, IRP, and data management while helping us mature our security operations."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I appreciate the most are its flexibility and scalability."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers excellent correlations, enhancements, and risk features that help my team."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"I am happy with the product, but they could improve in the discovery of the product."
"I did encounter issues with stability and performance. It really takes a long, long time, if you want to do analysis on viewed data."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"From an enterprise supported tool, I find that a little wanting."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"Official training, even CBT, is expensive so not many people are able to get certified."
"The GUI should be improved, in other words, the overall appearance."
"Technical support services are lacking, especially after you buy the product."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"A few years ago, I would have definitely recommended Splunk, but nowadays, better alternatives are available."
"The only downside is the pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"Splunk's costing is a little more difficult. The pricing method is complicated, and the way that costing is calculated in Splunk is a little more difficult."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
"It is a bit costly."
"The price can always be lower, but it is fair at the moment. The cost efficiencies depend on the licensing and how much data we are bringing in. We have a fairly large footprint, so it is cost-effective."
"The price of Splunk is reasonable."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
