IP Network Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Key features are roaming, application control and the firewall
We are partners of Aruba as well as sellers and customers. My job in the company is IP network engineer.  The roaming is a feature that works very well. In addition, the application control and firewall features are very good. These are all important features and make the product a valuable one.…

Enterprise Architect at Wipro Limited
Offers intuitive deployment with strong customer support and advanced analytics features
There are improvements that could be made to Splunk User Behavior Analytics as any product will have advantages and disadvantages. Scalability is one consideration. For example, the advantages include rapid auto scaling to meet demand. A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed. The speed of deployment offers faster provisioning as an advantage, but it can require substantial automation skills and infrastructure as code expertise, which can be challenging. Cloud provides major operational benefits such as agility, automation, resilience, and global access when setting up on Cloud. However, it introduces challenges such as cost control, complexity, and vendor dependency. For example, global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Roaming feature, application control and firewall features."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring, and if there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."
"I haven't heard of any issues with stability."
"I haven't heard of any issues with stability."
"The roaming is a feature that works very well, and the application control and firewall features are very good, making the product a valuable one."
"After more than three years of using this solution, I would recommend this solution, especially for environments that have a big volume of data."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The dashboards are one of the very core functions of Splunk User Behavior Analytics; they are very good in dashboarding, and the dashboards themselves are nice, very good, and very helpful."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The automation is very good; the product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable."
"We enjoy the overall usability; you just look at the dashboard and you have all the data that you need at a glance."
"This is a good security product."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
 

Cons

"The packet analyzer needs improvement."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click."
"The packet analyzer needs improvement."
"Technical support is a little slow."
"The dashboard could be simplified. You don't have a clear cut view and you have to dive deep into the options to gain some understanding."
"Technical support is unfortunately a little slow."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"UBA is a separate tool and it should be a part of the Splunk base itself so that we can download it."
"I didn't give them ten because Splunk does not provide something for the professional investigation."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is based on the number of users. The evaluation license is free, you can download it from the website and try it out first."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
