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

"Very good scalability."
"We mainly use Citrix for deploying applications and providing centralized access to our clients."
"The solution is easy to handle."
"This product is the easiest way to check if the work's correct."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats, and we are now 40 percent or more effective or faster."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a one hundred percent stable solution."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
 

Cons

"Lacks recording features."
"The remote access features need improvement."
"I believe there are some performance issues with the solution."
"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."
"There are occasional bugs."
"I would like to see a better tracking intelligence module with lower costs fully integrated with a user behavior analytics module."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency."
"One thing I would say is that they should continue to expand it on more devices."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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