Splunk Enterprise Security Reviews

We use it mostly to generate notables, and then we can use other tools, such as ticketing systems or other SOAR platforms, to investigate.

I was not around before we had Splunk Enterprise Security in our organization, so I do not know about the before and after, but I can tell it would be very painful to not have it. 

It is pretty easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. All the logs from our cloud environments go to Splunk, and then we can search everything at once. It is pretty helpful.

Splunk Enterprise Security has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environments. It is pretty important. Especially if you use it as your single source of truth, it is pretty invaluable that you have everything in there.

It has reduced our mean time to detect, so inadvertently, it has also reduced our mean time to resolve. However, I do not have the metrics.

Splunk Enterprise Security has definitely improved our organization’s business resilience. There are a lot of logs that help with monitoring and alerting and keeping the business up.

It can help to predict, identify, and solve problems in real time. We do have some health alerts, and if they kick off, we might be able to fix something before it is really broken. In that sense, it is good.

Splunk Enterprise Security has been pretty good in terms of providing business resilience by empowering our staff. Most of our users are security-focused, but having everybody with the ability to write their own searches or build upon what we already have for detection of the future things is pretty helpful.

The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well.

Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help. 

I have been using Splunk Enterprise Security for about two years.

It is pretty stable. We have not had any instances where Splunk just completely died. Its stability is good.

It seems pretty scalable, especially considering how much data we ingest. It is a good tool.

I have not interacted with them recently, but they are pretty good when I do need something from Splunk. I would rate them a ten out of ten. I have not had any issues with their support.

We were probably using Elasticsearch.

It was already implemented when I got here.

We have probably seen an ROI. We are in the security space, and there has definitely been improvement in uptime and the mean time to detect and respond to security alerts.

Its time to value is pretty immediate. The more logs and the more standardization that we get into Splunk, the quicker that comes.

Most people share the same thought that the ingestion rates can get pretty pricey. There is a lot of work we do to curate the data that we send to Splunk so that it is not too noisy or too expensive.

Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security an eight out of ten. There are some cool things. A lot of the talks at this Splunk conference have touched on some of the gaps that Splunk is working to close, but it is a very solid tool. 

My use cases are very limited. I use the product mostly to detect internal threats like data exfiltration.

I am a basic user. The search lookups are useful.

The product must improve insider threat detection. Almost everything is outside in, but not inside out.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The solution is very reliable. I like its stability. It always works.

Sometimes, it takes time when we need additional information or something extra. However, the tool’s able to do it.

I haven’t contacted the support team. I reach out to the internal expert. My searches and my requirements are very basic. The expert is great. He’s always able to help me and guide me.

Positive

We do see a return on investment. The product saves us time by automating reports and helping us see data.

The solution helps reduce our mean time to resolve. It’s great to automate some tasks. I believe Splunk has helped improve our organization’s business resilience. We have become stronger in insider threats by just stopping things, being able to show what is leaving, and taking action on it. It's very useful when I try to identify events.

When I started working in my organization, they were using Splunk. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use it for a lot of compliance work and incident reviews. We are also using it for remediation and tracking assets.

We use Splunk not just for security, but we also collect a lot of data from our operational equipment. We are using it a lot for troubleshooting and trending and even for command and control.

It has reduced our mean time to resolve some of the things. We are able to look at the data a lot faster and see what is going on. For some of our use cases, our NOC controllers or our operators are looking at the Splunk dashboard a lot. It is a part of their main job. In one specific use case, we used to take a couple of weeks to do certain maintenance. With Splunk and having the data, we were able to reduce that to just a few hours.

It has helped improve our organization's business resilience. We are able to have the data collected in one spot, see it, and get some insights from it. That has helped a lot.

It has definitely given our technical workforce tools to help with their jobs for troubleshooting and things like that.

From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful.

We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that.

It seems to be limited in terms of predictive features. I took up machine learning a couple of years ago. It seems to have some capabilities there, but I do not have specific things for it right now.

In our organization, we have had it for over five years, but my personal experience with it is very limited.

It has been working for us so far.

We have been able to scale as needed.

I have not contacted their support directly because we have folks who are pretty knowledgeable. I go to them, and then they go to their support if needed. As far as I could tell, their support has been okay. I have not heard of any issues.

We did not have a similar product. Splunk came as a security product, and we have evolved it into doing operational work.

We have folks who do the deployment. I am more on the interface side.

We would have seen an ROI. We are using it for a lot of our operational work and other things as well that are not related to what we are doing on a daily basis. We are looking at logs and other things that our executives are looking for.

Its time to value was within a year or so. There are a lot more things that we could do with Splunk, and that is why we ended up adding some stuff to it to fit our needs.

It is hard to tell whether we had any cost efficiencies because we did not have something like this before. Of course, we have Splunk now.

As a team, we prefer the old pricing model with a perpetual license. We are still evaluating the whole subscription-based model. 

We did not evaluate other solutions. Splunk came in with the modernization effort that we were going through, so it just came with the system.

We are pretty happy with it. I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security a seven out of ten.

We use the product to analyze security anomalies and research specific threats that we get on our network.

The solution has made us more secure. It has given us the ability to address threats faster, with greater accuracy.

The availability of the data and the fact that we're able to collect a large amount of data into the system and analyze it is valuable to us. The product’s speed and availability make it really useful for us. I'm excited about the additional enhancements to the machine learning toolkit. To be able to use it more is exciting to me.

My organization needs more people to learn how to use the solution effectively. It takes time to train people.

I have been using the solution for six years.

I have never seen any issues with the tool’s stability.

Considering how much we have in place, I would assume that the solution’s scalability is pretty strong.

I haven't had to go to Splunk directly for many things. Communicating with our success managers has been very positive.

Positive

We need to improve our implementation. We're a pretty large customer of Splunk, so I think we do have a lot of resources available. Splunk has really good courses and availability. We need to get more people to be more familiar with the tool. The solution has helped us reduce our mean time to resolve. It really works well for us, and it helps us to look at our data more effectively.

Splunk has helped improve our organization’s business resilience. It's not just used for security. We have big use for it. It has definitely helped us prevent problems from occurring and identify them when they do. Splunk’s ability to predict, identify, and solve problems in real time is very strong. It works as well as we use it. There's a lot of value within the tool. It can be very powerful if used properly and if people are knowledgeable about it.

Splunk has a strong ability to provide business resiliency by empowering staff. I've been using it for as long as I've been with this organization. Compared to other solutions, Splunk is really strong.

I have seen time to value using this solution. I love using it. It’s a great tool. I cannot compare Splunk to other tools because I've been using it for as long as I've been with my current organization. In my previous organization, we didn't have big data, so we really didn't need the product. I am a consumer of the solution from a security perspective.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight or a nine out of ten.

I am the branch chief. I use Splunk Enterprise Security depending on how swamped the team is. I use it for anything from basic searches to DDoS attacks, which is a big thing right now. So, DDoS attacks and phishing emails are a lot of what I am using it for.

We had FireEye before and then we went to CrowdStrike. Splunk has definitely helped to have everything into the tool. It is a lot easier to complete the tickets. It saves, on average, a couple of hours a day. We just go to Splunk and then provide data and work with different people on the tickets, so it saves hours each day. We have been able to allocate these hours to other projects or things that are more of a priority. We are able to do different projects that were on the back burner. We can put those hours towards other things.

Splunk has improved our organization’s business resilience. We are able to give leadership updates through dashboards versus the actual metadata. It is easier for them to understand and provide leadership.

Splunk’s ability to predict, identify, and solve problems in real-time is very good. It is proven. Every couple of weeks, it catches some of the things that our SOC team did not catch and provides alerts, so its real-time capabilities are very good.

Our team has overall benefited from Splunk. We had FireEye before, which was not that good. We are able to benefit from Splunk not only in terms of instant response. We also have other teams doing vulnerability management using the Prisma systems. It is important that Splunk provides end-to-end visibility into our native environment. We use it for Prisma and instant response. Without Splunk, we would not be able to do some of the things that we need to do unless we went to individual tools, and we do not have the resources for that.

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.

They offer training. That is a big part of it. If you do not understand the tool, they are able to provide everything that you need, which helps the business. When you have learned a tool, you are able to speed up the process meantime, so you are not wasting a lot of man-hours trying to figure things out. 

I do not have any areas that can be improved. It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit. 

In terms of additional features, I am still learning SOAR and everything else, so I do not have any feature requirements at this time, but as we do these SOAR operations, there might be some additional features that we will need.

I have been using Splunk Enterprise Security since 2016.

It is very good as long as you have the scope of how many servers, processors, and other things you need. There was a learning curve of making sure our servers were beefy enough to handle the data. We had four terabytes of data coming in every day. We were maxing out our systems a little bit, so we beefed that up, and we have had no issues since. 

Its scalability is easy. On-prem was very easy, and on the cloud, you have to learn and adapt a little bit, but scalability is perfect. 

I only reached out to our Splunk contacts, but my team reached out to Splunk's support team. I have not had any issues where they told me that they did not get the support they needed. They might take time to figure out what the issue is, but overall, I would rate their support a ten out of ten. 

Positive

We used FireEye, which was our primary one, and then we had CrowdStrike. Splunk has definitely been wonderful for us. The biggest reason for switching was integration. It is very easy to get all the tools fed into Splunk. They also had a cloud version, which was another reason. We are doing a hybrid setup, so cost savings was also a big factor.

I was involved in its deployment. I am the system owner of it. I am in charge of it, so I oversaw the project deployment. There is a learning curve with the hybrid setup with the cloud and on-prem, but overall, I am pretty satisfied with it.

We have an on-prem and a cloud environment depending on the platforms we are using in the system, so we have both environments. The challenging part was getting everything set up and fed into Splunk, but once it is set up, there is no difference in using it on-prem or on the cloud. We do not notice any real difference in it. 

The initial setup could be improved a little bit. It depends on your local team, firewalls, and other things like that, so there was a learning curve for the teams to learn how to set it up. That part could be improved, but once you go through it, it is not an issue. 

We had the Splunk team, and they did wherever they needed to get everything deployed. Our experience with them was good. We have worked with Splunk for years now. Their support has been very beneficial. If I have a question, they jump right on and let me know. They walk me through it and give me updates, so I am pretty happy with Splunk.

We have seen an ROI in terms of the mean time to resolution and man-hours. We are able to allocate those hours to other things. We have not got there yet in terms of the upfront costs, but we will get there over time.

When it comes to the time to value, we are getting there. We have not got there yet, but over time, we will get to the time to value.

Its price is fair. Like with anything else, if you go into the cloud, different providers cost more, and you are able to throttle back or throttle up. The cost is comparable with anything else.

We evaluated other options. We had to evaluate the pros and cons in terms of the cost and the capabilities of each tool. A lot of that went into the proof of concept. We did our due diligence and determined that Splunk was the best fit for us.

I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security a ten out of ten. It gives us everything we need, and its capabilities keep on improving, so it is getting better. 

Our primary use case is for cyber security, tracking logs, and incident response.

I haven't had the chance to properly sink my teeth into Enterprise Security but so far I like that they added the MITRE ATT&CK features. 

This feature helps us know how to plan when we have an incident, know where to look, what to look for, and aspects like that. 

The MITRE ATT&CK planning is valuable. When we see those incidents and those logs, having the information right there speeds up the process a bit.

We did not have a SIEM at the time, so we added Enterprise Security as our SIEM. We're hoping to learn more about it and grow as we progress.

They wanted us to do basic training, which was offered to our organization for free. That was great. However, ours is a cybersecurity focus. 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.

We upgraded to Enterprise Security a year ago but have been using general Splunk for longer. 

Stability-wise, despite these issues, it's been solid. I haven't had any issues with access to it or anything like that. The only issue we did have was with the engineer. After informing him of those issues, he went back and tweaked them, and then everything worked fine. 

It seems pretty scalable. Our network isn't extremely large, so I don't think scalability will be an issue in our case, but I definitely see the opportunity to scale if needed.

We have around 8,000 devices, so it's a fairly small network. It's across several different networks.

I have not used support yet mainly because I haven't delved into it as much because of the issues with our initial integration with our engineer not being so trained. 

We have different contractors and they have other solutions. Some of those solutions included Elastic. We want to use Splunk and our contractors want to use Elastic. We're hoping .conf23 will broaden our imagination, so we'll have more to bring back and push towards just using Splunk only.

I have not used Elastic myself. It does sound like it does a lot. There's a lot that Splunk offers that we haven't actually used. I want to play with Mission Control. We only use Enterprise Security but I do want Mission Control where everything is in one centralized application where you don't have to jump to different applications. 

I would love to get Mission Control.

My engineer had a little bit of an issue with it but it was because of his own lack of training. We were pushed to hurry up and get a SIEM. He did the best he could. I let him know what wasn't working, and then he would try to fix what he could on the backend so it could work. He was in talks with Splunk to fix those issues. The results are coming back a bit better, but I think that there is still room for improvement.

I was not involved with the setup. I came in afterward. One of our guys here was the one that was in the initial integration of Splunk. We ended up with Splunk as our main SIEM. I've never had any issues with it and I enjoyed it. 

We will see cost efficiencies mainly just from saving time and the shortened time and response to those incidents that we see. The fact that everything's organized in one application, we should see a bit of an increase in efficiency.

I do see the possibility and the opportunity to increase the meantime to resolution by a lot. We use several different applications to monitor logs. We have the vision. 

I've seen some of the updates and changes like Splunk AI and Splunk Vision Control that look nice. I didn't manage to get on some of the hands-on, which would have been lovely. I would like to get more ideas on how we can integrate Splunk into our networks. 

I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security a nine out of ten. I see the opportunity and I'm hoping with our engineer that we can get to where we can make the best use of Splunk. It really seems great. A lot of our staff here were all ready to use it. We're just hoping our engineer can get to the place where we can actually make use of it. 

The biggest value I get from attending a Splunk conference is being able to see the updates, changes, the features they're adding, the Splunk AI, and Splunk Vision Control. That's been nice. I am looking forward to some of the sessions. I want to get more ideas on how we can integrate Splunk into our networks and things like that, especially focusing on cybersecurity. I would also like to see some of the stock sessions because it's a brand new stock. We're trying to stand it up. Seeing how they're using it for stocks would be great.

Splunk Enterprise Security provides more visibility into endpoints in our environment.

We only monitor AWS, but we also have SaaS services that are in our own clouds. So far, it is easy to monitor our cloud environment with this solution. As long as we ingest our data correctly and tune it, it will read it. It is very easy to use.

It provides end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment. This is critical for us because we are always one step away from a security incident, which could impact the company and cost a lot of money. That is our main point of focus.

It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk.

The pricing can be better.

We have been evaluating Splunk Enterprise Security for the last eight months.

I cannot say anything about stability, but I am assuming it would be the same as Splunk. It is an app. It is going to work.

The technical support is above average, but they do not go into the details, so we have a contract with a third party to help us.

There might be more Splunk support tiers, but we are working with SP6. They will get their hands directly onto our Splunk environment, whereas Splunk support does not do that. Maybe there is a different tier that does that, but we do not have that. It is more of an email dialogue. They are not going to VPN into our environment. SP6 is more hands-on. I would rate SP6 a nine out of ten.

We did not use a similar solution. We have Carbon Black for endpoints, but this is going to be a lot bigger than that.

We are still evaluating it. We have not deployed it yet, but I was involved with the deployment of Splunk. 

It was very easy to set it up for evaluation. It is just an installer file. It is an add-on app for Splunk, and if you know how to install Splunk and add-ons, it is easy.

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.

We are not evaluating any solutions because we already have Splunk, and we do not want to leave Splunk. I like it, so it is just a matter of making the commitment.

The value that I get from attending Splunk Conferences is going to sessions and learning about what other people are doing and use cases that I have not really thought of. Also, I am able to talk directly to people about questions I have regarding our Splunk instances, and I can get some answers right away. It is very good to know what people are doing because sometimes we do something one way, but we do not know if we are doing it the right way. Here, we can get validation, or realize that we are doing it wrong and make the necessary changes. That is very valuable.

I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security a ten out of ten. Most customers at the conference have already implemented it, except for our company. It is a critical foundation app that allows you to explore other apps that Splunk is grading, and it works.

The use cases are mainly around monitoring for our clients' security operation centers and correlation of events and analytics for incidents that have been identified.

It has really improved things for our clients by reducing false positives. Most of the time, analysts end up wasting their time with false incidents, and that has been drastically reduced by Splunk.

It also definitely helps speed up your security investigations.

The dashboard and reporting are very good. Our clients monitor multiple cloud environments and Splunk helps because, in general, monitoring multiple cloud environments is definitely difficult and very complex. It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk.

The solution is also very good in its threat-hunting capabilities and anomaly detection. It uses an AI-based detection system to identify real-time anomalies and provides complete visibility into the network.

And you can feed multiple threat sources into Splunk and the Threat Intelligence Management feature gives you information about current or potential attacks. It provides complete security support in the threat intelligence space. It helps your administrator to correlate indicators of compromise from threat intelligence databases and feeds.

Also, the Splunk Mission Control feature, which is mainly for Splunk Enterprise Security cloud users, provides a unified and simplified security operations experience for SOC analysts.

We also use the solution's Threat Topology and MITRE ATT&CK framework feature. That's something you need for cyber breaches to contain a threat. This feature comes into play when you need to mitigate an incident in your environment.

While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated. Splunk has integrations with AWS, Azure, and other cloud providers, but when it comes to legacy applications, it is difficult to do a Splunk integration.

We have been working with Splunk Enterprise Security for one and a half years.

It's a very stable solution. 

It is very highly scalable.

The technical support is very good.

Positive

I used IBM Security QRadar. The main reason for switching is that Splunk has the scalability to handle bigger enterprise logs. Log management is the biggest issue in any SIEM. Splunk is able to rapidly grow its capacity.

Our clients' implementations are mostly on-prem and in the cloud.

Splunk is definitely not a cheap solution. It is an expensive product.

If a customer is evaluating SIEM solutions and is considering cheaper products, it depends on the customer's budget and use cases. For a large, enterprise customer with critical infrastructure that needs to be monitored 24/7, obviously, the cheaper solutions may not have the capacity to handle the huge volume of data. Splunk has the SIEM and the scalability as well as visibility features. When you want to monitor your applications and how they are performing, that is where Splunk is very strong.

In terms of maintenance of Splunk, you need to have an IT administrator monitoring it at all times.

When it comes to a large, enterprise customer's critical infrastructure, Splunk is one of the best solutions to use in a security operations center. It has multiple advantages, such as the dashboard that provides complete visibility, and a threat detection system with very advanced features. It is very valuable for any company that wants a good protection system.

You should definitely consider Splunk as one of your options for your SOC.

Splunk helps us to be proactive and it integrates with many devices. It offers visibility from many different levels, areas, zones, and devices rather than from a single system. We can use this intelligence to create correlations, system solutions, etc. Splunk reduces the risk factors and helps us in many ways beyond just collecting logs. Though Splunk is costly, it has many features like threat intelligence which is very useful. It helps us be proactive about reducing risks.

Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks.

Customers cannot manage or maintain the servers on the cloud since they are all deployed. Since there are platforms, they can become a little bit hectic. One of my other observations is that the applications that are available on the store are not updated as much as those available on on-prem.

Moreover, I have had issues with the Splunk store. I believe that the developers in the Splunk store are external and I can see that the level of maturity of these developers ranges between low and medium. I have never seen the maturity go up higher. The applications are not maintained regularly and it can cause issues in the visibility dashboard. I would suggest to Splunk's tech team to keep the store private, so that Splunk creates its own applications without the interference of external developers.

I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined. However, this is not the case with on-prem. We were able to manage and do whatever we wanted on the server level without opening a case or anything else. Moreover, the applications are updated every six months.

Splunk is a stable solution.

Splunk is a scalable solution. I am also impressed with the integrity of the solution. It is very good at collecting logs.

To resolve issues in the Splunk platform, you need to wait in a queue and then open a ticket with the support team. I find it a bit time-consuming since it takes time to call tech support and get what you need.

I have used Wazuh. From my point of view, Wazuh is a simple and basic SIEM solution compared to Splunk in terms of features. I don’t see Wazuh as a competitor to Splunk. Wazuh relies greatly on human tactics. It is best suited for cloud environments and maybe smaller ones. I have issues with Wazuh’s stability as well because I have found scenarios where it was working for one instance and not for another. These issues might be because it is open-source.

Wazuh is not actively working on their platform. I opine that they need to integrate many components and have many aspects automated so that the solution does not depend on its users. I have found issues with the language of Wazuh as well. It requires a lot of resources and time to learn the language. These issues make me think that Splunk is better than Wazuh.

The initial setup process for Splunk was simple. The language used in Splunk is very easy to pick up and you can rely on any person using it to be able to learn it quickly. The language and picking up logs are easier with Splunk.

I implemented Splunk through a POC.

Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features.

I have worked with Wazuh and ManageEngine Endpoint Central.

I would rate Splunk Cloud a 6.5 out of 10, but plugged on time, I would give it 8.8 out of 10. The maintenance of Splunk is a bit difficult due to the time-consuming tech support.

I would recommend Splunk. I cannot compare Splunk with any other SIEM solution because I have worked with many different solutions and logarithms, like the ManageEngine Endpoint Central, and Wazuh. I have used Splunk for two years and I can see Splunk as really the best SIEM solution that can be used for work. I totally recommend it even though I gave some negative feedback, it's because I am coming from a product perspective. We have to also take into consideration the security perspective. I am not talking about only visibility in which they should take a lot of care, but the way the solution is handling and even manipulating the data. This is the most valuable thing.

We use Splunk to monitor our private cloud, data center, and other applications.

I don't like Splunk very much and find that it does not have many useful features.

Splunk works based on parsing log files.

I don't like the pipeline-organized programming interface.

I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see.

I find that the performance really varies. Sometimes, the platform doesn't respond in time. It takes a really long time to produce any results. For example, if you want to display a graph and put information out, it can become unresponsive. Perhaps you have a website and you want to show the data, there's a template for that, or it has a configuration to display your graphics, and sometimes it just doesn't show any data. This is because the system is unresponsive. There may be too much data that it has to look through. Sometimes, it responds with the fact that there is too much data to parse, and then it just doesn't give you anything. The basic problem is that every time you do a refresh, it tries to redo all of the queries for the full dataset.

Fixing Splunk would require a redesign. The basic way the present the graphs is pipeline-based parsing of log files, and it's more of a problem than it is helpful. Sometimes, you have to perform a lot of tricks to get the data in a format that you can parse.

You cannot really use global variables and you can't easily define a constant to use later. These things make it not as easy to use.

I have been using Splunk for approximately one year.

I use Splunk at least a couple of times a week.

I'm not sure about scalability but to my thinking, it's not very scalable. I know that it's probably expensive because it relies a lot on importing log files from all of the systems. One of the issues with respect to scalability is that there's never enough storage. Also, the more storage you have, the more systems you need to manage all the log files.

Splunk is open for all of the users in the company. We might have 1,000 IT personnel that could access it, although I'm not sure how many people actually use it. I estimate that there are perhaps 200 active users.

I have not been in contact with technical support from Splunk.

In this company, we did not previously use a different monitoring solution.

I was not involved in the initial setup.

We have a DevOps team that is implementing Splunk and they are responsible for it. For example, they take care of the licensing of the product.

We have a team at the company that completed the setup and deployment.

The other product that I've seen is Elastic, and I think that it would be a better choice than Splunk. This is something that I'm basing on performance, as well as the other features.

My understanding is that as a company, we are migrating to Azure. When this happens, Splunk will be decommissioned.

Overall, I don't think that this is a very good product and I don't recommend it.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.
