Featured Reviews

Federico_Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped the organization to provide high-security access to applications and performs well
From the point of view of a user, it is a scalable solution. The solution performs well with growth and is easily accessible. There are less than one hundred users because it's part of a SIP company. But in the main group, it has three thousand users. The idea is to grow and provide our service to two thousand users.
Subhayu Chakraborty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to handle."
"Very good scalability."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
 

Cons

"The remote access features need improvement."
"Lacks recording features."
"High data ingestion costs can be an issue, especially for large enterprises, as Splunk charges based on the amount of data processed."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. There are no additional costs involved, one only needs to pay the licensing cost."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
