It can be delivered on a specialised appliance or on the customer's hardware, but the GUI is quite basic.
Velocimetrics can be deployed as a software or hardware based solution. It captures business-level data from multiple sources, then associates, correlates and aggregates this information together in real-time. The product can be clustered for resilience and scaled to cope with complex and high…

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

"It provides good forensic investigations features allowing review of what else was going on at the time of an incident."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"My security ops team takes around 30 minutes to one hour to remediate security incidents with Splunk Enterprise Security compared to a previous solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's value lies in its ability to collect and analyze security logs, providing insightful dashboards."
"Now with Splunk Enterprise Security, we have everything in one place—the notables are created automatically, but they can also create their own notables based on the investigation, which improved and reduced about 50% of the manual work that was done before versus what we are doing now."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"I very much enjoy Splunk's robust search nature, which enables me to find the data I want within the data I have."
"It helps the IT staff to monitor the full structure and makes use of all logs to take proactive actions."
 

Cons

"The GUI is quite basic and can look messy very quickly"
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
"In the next release of Splunk, I think the machine learning should be emphasized."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive. That's because the model is based on how much data it processes a day, which can be prohibitive, especially if you have a lot of data. A lot of customers may not be ready for the sticker shock on how to fully leverage the product. I realized that the reason for that is that when it was originally designed, it was kind of like a big data modeling application. If they want to have a bigger customer base, they can come out with subsets of their product that are focused on specific things and have different pricing models. It may help with the cost."
"The initial setup of Splunk is complex. It requires a lot of equipment and uploads."
"Right now, it is too easy for a user to write a query, run it, make it available in polling mode (real-time mode), and bring down the server."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"Splunk's reporting functionality would benefit from enhanced customization capabilities, allowing users to tailor reports to their specific needs for better data visualization and analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is competitive."
"I remember Splunk being relatively affordable. Kibana was more reasonable, but you get more with Splunk. If I was suggesting something, I would probably suggest Splunk because it is better to pay a little bit more and get a lot more."
"Most people share the same thought that the ingestion rates can get pretty pricey. There is a lot of work we do to curate the data that we send to Splunk so that it is not too noisy or too expensive."
"This solution is costly. Splunk is obviously a great product, but you should only choose this product if you need all the features provided. Otherwise, if you don't need all the features to meet your requirements, there are probably other products that will be more cost-effective. It's cost versus the functionality requirement."
"Licensing is a yearly, one-time cost."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
"Its price is fair. Like with anything else, if you go into the cloud, different providers cost more, and you are able to throttle back or throttle up. The cost is comparable with anything else."
