Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 19, 2025

Splunk Enterprise Security and Coralogix are both influential contenders in the log management and security information management domains. Splunk, with its extensive integration capabilities and advanced threat detection features, provides an advantage for large enterprises seeking comprehensive monitoring solutions. Alternatively, Coralogix, while offering fewer features, appeals to cost-conscious businesses with its user-friendly deployment and efficient log management features.

Features: Splunk Enterprise Security is characterized by advanced threat detection capabilities, risk-based alerting, and customizable dashboards, integrating with a wide range of threat intelligence sources and application add-ons for extensive monitoring needs. In contrast, Coralogix emphasizes simple deployment and robust log analysis, featuring database-like querying and intuitive interfaces that cater to swift implementation and efficient log management for smaller enterprises.

Room for Improvement: Splunk presents challenges related to its complexity, substantial resource requirements, and a steep learning curve, which could benefit from more competitive pricing models and enhanced AI functionalities. Coralogix would benefit from developing its AI anomaly detection, improving Terraform support, and refining its user interface to be more intuitive and cost-efficient for users managing data volume-based pricing.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Splunk offers flexibility in deployment across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments but necessitates significant expertise and time, with generally positive but sometimes delayed customer support. Coralogix, primarily cloud-based, boasts straightforward deployment, particularly on AWS, coupled with responsive customer support, though it requires improvements in documentation and localized assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Splunk's pricing structure, dependent on data ingestion, often results in high costs for smaller organizations, with a positive ROI justified by its extensive feature set. Coralogix offers a more budget-friendly and transparent pricing model, making it attractive for small to mid-sized businesses seeking effective cost management despite having fewer features than Splunk.

Presales Engineer at Crayon

Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively

Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."

"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool."

"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."

More Coralogix pros

"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I prefer the most are risk-based alerting, the new Mission Control, and the integrations that are coming into place between Mission Control and Splunk SOAR."

"I am enjoying our implementation of risk-based alerting. That has helped very much with cutting out a lot of the noise that we have. It has reduced our alert volume significantly. There is about an 80% reduction."

"Splunk can deliver more information by going deeper. By creating a dashboard, we can identify the root cause of the threat. Let's say I have a firewall from Check Point. Splunk will find the dashboard for Check Point, implement it in our environment, and connect it to the Check Point firewall logs, which are shown on the dashboard. If we request a custom dashboard, the engineer will take longer to complete the task."

"I have not seen any outages in the product in the past two years that it has been running in our company, so I think it is good when it comes to the stability part."

"The most valuable features include the incident review and Dashboard Studio."

"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I prefer most are the correlation engine and the common information model, basically the aggregation of data."

"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."

"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pros

Cons

"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."

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"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."

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

More Coralogix cons

"The correlation of events is the most significant challenge I face when using Splunk Enterprise Security for advanced threat detection."

"Splunk is such a large product. Allowing it to be more easily used by people who have not had a lot of training on it would be an improvement."

"One thing that I probably dislike the most about the Splunk product is their support."

"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."

"This is not really a monitoring solution."

"We'd like to see a more seamless cloud-based integration."

"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."

"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"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."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"The variables and the flexibility that Splunk provides are helpful, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment."

"Splunk is really expensive."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive. I would rate the cost an eight out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"Be upfront about your needs and expectations. Splunk is great to work with."

"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."

"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."

"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
