Logging has reduced costs and now provides fast queries and dashboards for lambda troubleshooting
Axiom Team excels at querying, with a query language that makes it very easy to assemble queries. The platform also makes it simple to create dashboards from logs. Axiom Team dashboards are used to monitor execution time, pricing, and errors. Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"It is a very stable solution. I never really had a hiccup with the tool."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"I appreciate the Identity and Assets framework the most, as well as the threat analysis framework."
"It is stable, very powerful, and their support is good."
"Since Splunk is a platform for data, we can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
 

Cons

"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
"Because the licensing model is very complicated to understand, it would be better to start with another product that provides a better licensing model."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"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."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
"The amount of time it takes to troubleshoot not-easily-available data, and hours on the phone with VMware techs, have become an issue."
"Unlike other cloud based analytics platforms, at the time of this writing Splunk Cloud is a dedicated instance per customer rather than a shared tenancy platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is priced lower than competitors."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is somewhat high, but comparing it with its benefits, it's acceptable. It depends on the type of business."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."
"The pricing is based on the volume of data fed into it, which can lead to substantial costs. This pricing model is complex and unpredictable, making cost management difficult."
