Splunk Enterprise Security Reviews

We use Splunk Enterprise Security for our enterprise security.

Adding more use cases to Splunk can improve our threat detection speed.

It has helped normalize our data.

Splunk Enterprise Security has helped reduce our alert volume and speed up our security investigations.

The graph visualization is the most valuable feature.

Splunk Enterprise Security needs to improve its stability.

The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people.

I have been using Splunk Enterprise Security for four months.

I would rate the stability of Splunk Enterprise Security a four out of ten. Some bugs cause downtime.

I would rate the scalability a six out of ten.

I would rate Splunk Enterprise Security an eight out of ten.

Splunk Enterprise Security's robust framework enables it to support a wider range of use cases, making it more adaptable and versatile for tackling diverse security challenges.

We have Splunk Enterprise Security deployed across multiple locations.

Splunk Enterprise Security's visualizations are detailed and help users normalize data, making it extremely useful.

The vast array of use cases enabled by Splunk Enterprise Security empowers security teams to address diverse threats and enhance overall security posture.

I used it in the SOC environment to get logs, create dashboards, and filter out data.

The indexing and data collection are valuable. 

Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better.

Their sales support and tech support need improvement. Their support is really bad.

I used it for nearly one year in my previous organization. I last used it about seven months ago.

It is stable.

Its scalability is good.

Their sales support and tech support are really bad. They take really long to respond.

We were using AlienVault. We switched because we weren't really happy with it. So, we looked into different solutions, such as Splunk.

Its initial setup was okay.

We did it ourselves. We had around two people for deployment and maintenance, but we had around 15 users. They all were SOC people.

We had a yearly subscription.

I can recommend this solution to others. It is a great product. 

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

Splunk just acts as an extra presentation layer, and we tried it because of the plugins they have to try and get more logs into the environment.

Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize.

Aside from the 5GB limit on the community version, I believe it is the same as ELK. It's a useful tool, and nothing comes to mind right now.

I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part.

Splunk is a stable solution. I am very happy with the stability of Splunk.

Splunk can be scaled to any environment. The way it's designed, it's cloud-ready, and it has a lot of performance, in-built indexing, and performance tuning options. Splunk is easily scalable.

I am happy to report that I've never needed to contact technical support. The README tutorials and the existing forums provide me with practically everything I need. So far, I haven't had to do so. This should be a testament to the solution.

We broaden the scope of IT governance and IT security.

We look at everything from SIEM to network management to endpoint protection, server protection, database protection, and anything else that can aid in visibility, policy enforcement, and monitoring.

Our organization is using a combination of Splunk and Elasticsearch. We get most of what we need from the ELK suite. ELK Stack is usually the primary focus.

ELK has the same inbuilt reports and dashboards that you can customize, but ELK is better for central logging and log aggregation. Once they've all been aggregated, you'll be able to run any kind of queries and APIs to query the logs on ELK and then use Splunk as a presentation layer for the consumers to use.

Security tools, in my opinion, are business tools and should be used by businesses rather than security engineers. I'm experimenting with a hybrid of the two, in which ELK serves as the engine for central logging and Splunk handles the presentation layer and aggregation of additional third-party logs from tools that might be difficult to integrate into ELK.

I would rate Elasticsearch a ten out of ten.

It's a cloud-ready package. It has the same characteristics as ELK. From a deployment standpoint, I don't have any issues with it. The material is freely accessible to anyone who wishes to use it. There is a virtual machine option. You can get a virtual machine by downloading it. The deployment options are simply numerous, and it is up to the implementer.

It wasn't that difficult for me. There are no complaints from me. The material is present, and there are numerous options for deployment. It's relatively simple to go from zero to viewing data with Splunk. ELK is the same way. It is now up to the implementers and their environment to provide you with more data about it.

They could improve their discounts. I think it's a good solution, and it's gaining a lot of traction, maybe they are recouping their R&D costs, Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it.

We provide IT consulting services. Our customers occasionally ask us to assist them in locating specific solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using this solution.

I would say the forums and READMEs provide more than enough information about Splunk. Most people struggle because they move too quickly through the implementation process. As long as you follow the guidelines, particularly the specifications for environment requirements and implementation methodology, these solutions should work out of the box.

Splunk is a very good solution, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

I use Splunk for testing purposes. It is used for school research and to learn how to use Splunk. 

Splunk is mainly used for collecting logs and dashboards.

Splunk provides a free version so you can test it before purchasing.  It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity. IBM, for example, if you want to use EDR, and other features, you must use the features of other companies, such as ServiceNow and Jira.

I am still exploring the features provided in Splunk. As I have not used it for a long time, I don't have a clear vision of it.

As a student, I'd like to see more labs and things for students to test in order to learn.

Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful.

There is a free version, but it is insufficient for training and learning because it is a little bit difficult to work with, especially if you are a beginner. It's difficult to improve when you're just starting out with logs and SOC. As a result, we require a longer free version.

Splunk is not used in my company. During my internship, I am being taught how to use it at school.

I have been using Splunk for one month.

I did not have any issues with the stability of Splunk. It was quite stable.

There was technical assistance available. When you require assistance, they provide it, they will respond.

We integrate Jira with QRadar which is helpful.

The initial setup was simple because there is available support and tutorials.

I completed the installation with the help of some friends, in the IT department.

I'm only using the free version for the time being.

The cost is reasonable.

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.

When compared to QRadar, QRadar, it's simple to pay. 

I did some research for a school project. I needed to compare it to Splunk and a few other tools. As a result, I'm not particularly interested in purchasing them.

I would rate Splunk an eight out of ten.

We are using Splunk for querying data from different sources.

Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature.

The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use.

I have used Splunk within the past 12 months.

Splunk is a stable solution.

We have contacted the support and most of the reasons we have contact support has been project-related. For example, we want the APAs to work in a certain way or for certain fixes.

I have been using Splunk for approximately 

We work with Splunk. We use it for our own services, and we also integrate and resell Splunk. It is used for cyber security. 

Different clients have different versions. They have Splunk Cloud and Splunk on-premises with different versions.

It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology.

The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics.

We have been using this solution for a few years. In 2016, we became a Splunk partner.

It is very stable.

Its scalability is very good. We work with this platform for our own services. We use Splunk extensively, and we also offer it to our clients. We plan to increase its usage.

Our company has three offices. We have offices in Spain, Columbia, and Mexico. We have around 100 people, and about 50 people are working with Splunk. They all are focused on cyber security. They are security engineers or security specialists.

I don't know about their support. I don't work with it much. On an activity level, I'm not so close to the platform. I'm the country manager, so I am a bit far from the operation.

We tried to work with Exabeam for user behavior analytics, but we stopped it.

Its setup is very easy, but we have been working with Splunk for a lot of years. We have all the certifications in Splunk, and we are a specialist in Splunk. So, for us, it is very easy to set it up and integrate it, but it might not be easy for other companies.

Splunk is a very good platform for analytics and cybersecurity. We use it very extensively. It is very easy to use, and it is very stable and scalable.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

We are a solution provider and Splunk is one of the products that we distribute.

The primary use case is for SIEM and we have approximately 35 customers.

The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit.

Our customers like that they can use Splunk to optimize their security.

The Splunk licensing model should be more flexible.

The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.

We have been working with Splunk since 2017.

Stability-wise, it's perfect. We haven't had any problem with Splunk. It's good software.

One of the key benefits and differences with this software is that the customer can scale up as much as they need to. Our largest Splunk customer is using between three and four petabytes of data per day.

If you don't pay extra for technical support then it is very bad. If you pay extra for it, then the technical support is normal.

I am familiar with other products and Splunk can handle much more data than IBM QRadar or any other competing product.

Direct competitors are more flexible when it comes to licensing.

We have not had any problems installing Splunk.

For a standard case, it takes between one and two weeks to install correctly and deploy. This is for situations where the client has less than 50 gigabytes of data per day.

Problems during the implementation are typically due to something on the customer's side. For example, if the client does not have somebody that is responsible for the deployment, helping to speed up the various procedures, then this is a key problem for us.

It takes two people to deploy and maintain.

Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually. The licensing model should be improved and the price should be lower, in general.

You can purchase additional technical support, which is much better than the support that is included.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

There are many use cases for Splunk, we commonly use it for log management and analytics.

The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows.

The analytics of Splunk could be improved.

I have been using Splunk for approximately four years.

Splunk is a highly stable solution.

I have found Splunk to be scalable.

We have 15 members of our organization that use this solution.

We used to support a few times and our experience was good. 

I would rate the support from Splunk a four out of five.

I have previously used RSA and I prefer Splunk.

The implementation of slunk is not straightforward. It is of a moderate difficulty level.

We used an integrator to do the implementation.

There is an annual license required to use this solution.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as IBM QRadar.

This solution has good technology.

I rate Splunk an eight out of ten.
