Splunk Security Essentials has dramatically impacted my organization, as without it, we were blind to what is happening from both a security and application perspective, and it provides vital visibility into the organization's operations. Currently, I am utilizing all the features during implementation without any missing modules. We are actively doing observability, ITSM, Phantom, and everything else required in our workflow, with only the limitation that we are focused on Splunk Security Essentials Enterprise rather than Splunk Security Essentials Cloud. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Splunk Security Essentials nine out of ten for real-time detection, five for long-term reporting, four for licensing, nine for ecosystem level, nine for tool usage, and nine for usability compared to other platforms. On the enterprise side, I give Splunk Security Essentials a nine. My advice for someone with a similar workflow to mine considering Splunk Security Essentials is to segregate their indexer clusters for logs and to ensure compliance with CIM to facilitate seamless administration and use. Additionally, utilizing Splunk Security Essentials App for Security Detections can provide comprehensive insights into the environment and its security frameworks. I rate this product nine out of ten overall.

Splunk Security Essentials has changed how our team works together at all and how we collaborate. The team is much more aligned. They do not have to do the troubleshooting all the time. They are doing monitoring and now we can focus on the important things that are more important. I would rate this solution highly based on the value it has provided to our organization.
It's easy to assess the integration of Splunk Security Essentials with other tools. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Splunk Security Essentials a seven.
We already talked about Enterprise Security on May 28th.I'm using Splunk Enterprise. We do use SOAR Mission Control, but not AppDynamics or Phantom. We have another freemium app for infrastructure monitoring called ITSI, IT Essentials Work. We also have the ITSI module for virtualization. I would have to rate Splunk Security Essentials a 10 out of 10 because it's free and there's tons of usable content.
I recommend Splunk Security Essentials as integration and monitoring are seamless and it has been a great tool for performance. Overall, I rate the solution at eight out of ten.
