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

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable."
"The solution offers good searching and allows for easy creation of dashboards and reports."
"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."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The automation is very good; the product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable."
"From my experience and from the security perspective, I recommend this product for all the people that need good security for investigation."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"I wouldn't buy Splunk because of the cost, because you can't budget for it."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"Splunk can improve the UBA."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"UBA is a separate tool and it should be a part of the Splunk base itself so that we can download it."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest 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."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"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."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
