Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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 benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"Has a great search capability."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance, it also works on a virtual machine and we haven't found any issues with it so far, it's been reliable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped improve my organization's business resilience, and I found it to be very effective for helping identify when a system goes down or is operating at an improper level before an actual issue occurs."
"It has the ability to correlate data, analyze and review it."
"It actually helps us by not having to develop all the use cases ourselves, providing an integrated product that has everything in one place."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"I'm not sure about the money but in saved time and a new kind of visibility for the system/business process this product has been revolutionary in the working environment."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is Search Processing Language, which has benefited my organization by making searching data a lot easier than other tools I've used."
"I would definitely recommend using Splunk."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
 

Cons

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"The EBA could be improved."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"I used version 8 which was not at all stable. The services and processor keep going down, we had to manually keep them up increasing storage space because services are down, and logs not processed."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The licensing price is high and has room for improvement."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"Stability is there, but every release has some bugs."
"When we were trying to implement an enterprise solution on-premise, we had scaling issues."
"The system can be intimidating, and sometimes the concepts conveyed in the documentation require adjustment."
"I think the machine learning should be emphasized. Now, it's really important to analyze Big Data, data mining. A SIEM solution, like Splunk, needs an improved data mining solution, artificial intelligence."
"The threat detection system has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on the log size."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"It is quite expensive."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
"I remember Splunk being relatively affordable. Kibana was more reasonable, but you get more with Splunk. If I was suggesting something, I would probably suggest Splunk because it is better to pay a little bit more and get a lot more."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
