Featured Reviews

Jorge Florez - PeerSpot reviewer
SaaS platform used by developers to store and conveniently search for logs
If a company has the budget and the log service is critical for them, I would say use Coralogix. It is a very good service for that. I would rate Coralogix an eight out of ten. It is an excellent service for storing logs for a long time. The capacity is unlimited for unindexed logs. The cost model is also very efficient because you pay for the ingested data per month. This can be compared to a solution like New Relic where you have to pay it upfront and cannot limit the data ingestion. Coralogix provides an easy way to search for logs and to visualize them. This a great feature because developers are constantly looking for or browsing logs.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It follows MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks. There are certain notable events for which we can configure our security posture."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"In the past we used the different application to collect logs. We used SurfWatch and VMware to do so. But, we found that the Splunk has more capacity to do more in less time. They provide a aster speed to index all the events , and this is a huge asset."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
"It is very scalable."
 

Cons

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The product could be cheaper."
"It's missing some features that other solutions have, such as the ability to upgrade the endpoint and perform endpoint universal forwarders from a deployment server instead of using a third-party solution, such as Puppet or Ansible."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"It would be nice if Splunk provided a little more documentation and instructions on how to upload. The steps are short, but sometimes it's not so intuitive."
"The documentation and training resources available for knowledge and training can be expanded. We need to learn more about Splunk Enterprise Security and new security attacks."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"Its interface and usability can always be improved."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is somewhat high, but comparing it with its benefits, it's acceptable. It depends on the type of business."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
"We have seen ROI and improvements as we have continued to use the product, but they are more reactive."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
