Good performance, efficiency, and focuses on monitoring
When you choose a solution, you compare the bad points and the good points with the requirements that are needed. DOI does have some bad points. The real bad part is that it's impossible to be integrated on-premise. Broadcom chose to build only on the Cloud. In the beginning, I first started to check on-premise solutions to integrate in the future with Cloud models. So when we chose DOI, we knew the bad point was its obligation to use the Cloud or the SaaS model. But it's not a bad point now because Cloud and SaaS computing is the future of IT. But it's too early to really know about the security and what the other companies are seeing and changing. Monitoring information is critical for a company - information about the IPs, names that we keep, and some technical information. Also critical is the security of the monitoring itself. Broadcom manages the security of the data well. If you have securable monitoring and your team is already using Century or other products, DOI is not a good choice because DOI is not open-source. DOI is a static solution so you will not have access to the code. It is difficult with Sharepoint, too. If you are not in the habit of managing your static Broadcom relationship, it's not easy. The support is in India and it's already closed by the midday shift. The Broadcom support is very bad. I had a previous integration of Broadcom and their static software. But I was able to manage the support. But for new customers, it's quite difficult to create this relationship. Please keep in mind, Broadcom is a very huge company and when you're small or medium, about 1,000 or so employees, if you don't have the team, monitoring will be difficult. If you start a new company or are a startup, don't use Broadcom software. You don't have the weight to negotiate with Broadcom. It's not a bad point with DOI, just a bad point with the Broadcom relationship. But if you only choose DOI, keep in mind that the product is not only its technical capabilities, but also it's support relationship with the enterprise. We already plan to integrate automatic recognition in future releases. Now we don't use a major part of the automatic recognition. The plan is to create or automatically correct some command execution or re-run of the image and to integrate the VPN. The next step is to use the automatic recognition and to bypass the human intervention and to have automatic intervention of the critical system.

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

"We chose DOI because during the proof of concept, the integration of all of our asset management and monitoring payments took three days, which was very short, very quick, and very efficient compared to other solutions where we spent around three or four weeks on integration."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the machine learning and the algorithm. We tried seven solutions. The good points of DOI are performance and efficiency under machine learning systems."
"What I appreciate about Splunk Enterprise Security is creating the newest SPL for network traffic and using the risk-based alerting feature that helps my organization by allowing me to learn more information about Splunk every day because it is a big platform."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"Splunk's capability to receive any types of logs and index them is a very good feature."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"It's very flexible. If you look from the cloud implementation it is there. Reports are made quickly. Unlike other tools, it caters to all kinds of technical information on the front very easily. There's no need to put in any technical information. You can pull on the reports very easily, take action, and notify stakeholders."
"Before Splunk, we used Kibana and Elasticsearch; sometimes, with them, logs wouldn't even be there, so Splunk being there and working does a lot."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."

Cons

"It's impossible to be integrated on-premise. Broadcom chose to build only on the Cloud."
"The Broadcom support is very bad."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"It needs documentation, and "how-to-do" information. It's complicated to build reports and views."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Its interface could be improved."
"I've noticed that onboarding data from various multi-cloud sources and diverse products, such as security network devices, can be challenging."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think that most of the monitoring solutions are expensive."
"Licensing is a yearly, one-time cost."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"We had a yearly subscription."
"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."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"I work on the technical side, so I don't know precise figures. However, I know that Splunk is a premium product, so it's somewhat costly. Still, you get a lot of unique features for the money."
