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.

Has good filtering and rating features and helps with resource and load management

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Other than that, this is a very stable and very easy to configure product."

"Splunk has a very knowledgeable support staff and the Splunk support website is outstanding."

"Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features like seamless integration and a SQL-standard Structured Query Language for easy searching."

"The compatibility with the add-ons helps us add more data in the same compatible format and use data models to elaborate and make it faster."

"I evaluate customer service and technical support as great."

"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."

"Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."

"We evaluated several solutions and selected Splunk due to the functionality and cost."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pros

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"The deployment is very fast."

"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."

"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

"What stood out to us were the metrics and granular details we received."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

More Stackify pros

Cons

"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."

"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow."

"Splunk Enterprise Security can improve in terms of probably being able to talk to additional sources."

"Professional support is great, but too expensive."

"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."

"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."

"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."

"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

"The search feature could be improved."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."

"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."

"I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement.

I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information."

"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."

"Better mobile support."

"When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs."

More Stackify cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."

"In terms of pricing, I believe Splunk is unreasonably costly for the majority of mid and small-sized companies."

"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."

"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."

"It's definitely worth it."

"Splunk is not free."

"Pricing is pretty fair."

"I am fine with the licensing, but in terms of the cost, it is expensive for the data that we have. We have an open discussion with our account rep about this."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
