Cybersecurity Director at Infra-tech
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.

Offers intuitive deployment with strong customer support and advanced analytics features
There are improvements that could be made to Splunk User Behavior Analytics as any product will have advantages and disadvantages. Scalability is one consideration. For example, the advantages include rapid auto scaling to meet demand. A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed. The speed of deployment offers faster provisioning as an advantage, but it can require substantial automation skills and infrastructure as code expertise, which can be challenging. Cloud provides major operational benefits such as agility, automation, resilience, and global access when setting up on Cloud. However, it introduces challenges such as cost control, complexity, and vendor dependency. For example, global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We mainly use Citrix for deploying applications and providing centralized access to our clients."
"The solution is easy to handle."
"Very good scalability."
"Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a one hundred percent stable solution."
"The dashboards are one of the very core functions of Splunk User Behavior Analytics; they are very good in dashboarding, and the dashboards themselves are nice, very good, and very helpful."
"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."
"From my experience and from the security perspective, I recommend this product for all the people that need good security for investigation."
"The automation is very good; the product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable."
"After more than three years of using this solution, I would recommend this solution, especially for environments that have a big volume of data."
"This is a good security product."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
 

Cons

"Lacks recording features."
"I believe there are some performance issues with the solution."
"The remote access features need improvement."
"The dashboard part could be improved."
"The machine learning algorithm in Splunk User Behavior Analytics is actually the core thing that needs to be updated because this feeds all the other functions inside it."
"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."
"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."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats, as well as a more user-friendly interface for dashboards."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. There are no additional costs involved, one only needs to pay the licensing cost."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"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."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
