We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It has good intelligence. It does a great job at stopping threats."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"Technical support is quite good. With firewalls, the last cases I had with Cisco were professionally handled quite quickly and it was great."
"You can do zero-day prevention and detection. It's quite useful."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"The thing about this solution that I like the most is that it's intuitive."
"The solution is stable. This is one of the good things in Firepower. Especially if we use ESE with it."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"This is a good security product."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"Our customers are still facing many bugs on the system. It has matured noticeably, but we are still facing multiple stability issues on Firepower. There are more than 80 or 90 bugs for each release node. It's a considerable number of bugs."
"The onboarding process could be made a little bit better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because it requires a lot of configuration, firewall and zoning."
"The integration can be more secure."
"The GUI could be improved. The pain point is really only focused toward the security engineer who configures it and the operation engineer who manages it."
"There is room for improvement in the policy documentation."
"The price is a little high. It's hard to find solutions that are easy on the budget and strike a balance between affordability and features."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"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."
