We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature.""Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless""Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest.""The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution.""We like the GSL Builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monitoring endpoint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonymous access in the environment. The GSL Builder is helpful for deep investigations of a particular reason for an incident. You can use it to get more information.""It offers security insights and recommendations to assist organizations in acting and remediating issues swiftly.""The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features.""The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."

"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""Great monitoring of network devices.""Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise.""The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs.""The alerts are the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature is log reporting."

Cons
"Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime.""No improvements are needed.""The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point.""The software configurations theory is complicated, and without proper planning and a well-skilled technical team, it cannot perform its tasks properly.""The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there.""The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be.""The performance can be better. Sometimes, the performance is not up to the mark. There is also integration complexity with third-party software and tools.""The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."

"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns.""I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface.""The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices.""A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

  • "The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
  • "This is an expensive solution."
  • "The solution's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."
  • "Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
  • "I would rate the price of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
  • "I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "Splunk's infrastructure monitoring costs can be high because our billing is based on data volume measured in terabytes, rather than the number of devices being monitored."
