Correlation engine and alert features significantly reduce alert volume

Pros

"It's great for finding anonymous threats."

Cons

"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved mainly from the user interface regarding the visualizations. They are working on it, yet there are only five to ten very basic visualizations."

Cons

"One area Splunk Enterprise Security fails to improve is the pricing aspect; while the initial pricing seems fine, the licensing cost can skyrocket over time, creating trauma for organizations."

Improves threat management and has effective analytics

Pros

Real-time monitoring and alerts enhance performance evaluation and security investigations

Pros

"I can create dashboards to collect and view information in a tabular, graphical format. This feature is important because it helps me understand time-series data over one or two hours. "

Cons

"Data retention can be better. If we want to look at the data for five months or six months, that is not available to us. We only have a history of 20 or 30 days. After that, the information gets lost. That is a drawback. "
