Splunk Enterprise Platform offers scalable solutions, efficiently managing large data volumes and user bases with optional cloud support for extended scalability.
Splunk allows for scalability, as you can start with an all-in-one instance and, as your deployment grows, split it into distributed deployment, such as separating the search head and indexers.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
Some products can automatically scale, but Splunk requires manual configuration changes to achieve scale, which is slightly outdated compared to modern technologies.

I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform a scalable solution since it has different components, and if the server is down, I can upgrade the server resources or create a new node for performance optimization.

It is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively.

Splunk Enterprise Platform is expensive.

Helps in identifying potential impact and allows us to see where our assets are in relation to a risk event
I personally love VCC because I just think there needs to be more data to support it so we can be more proactive and easily assess the impact. So, I appreciate the visual aspect, but it has to have the data to support it. It has proved very useful, particularly because we have a GSOC that's not technically 24/7. We do have an 800 number that people call 24/7. If something happens, they can easily send Everbridge a notification to activate the team off hours. It is useful in that respect too. We use it in conjunction with teams, but off-hours and for additional people outside of the core team, we use Everbridge, which is useful.

Has streamlined data integration and enabled real-time dashboard visualizations through a powerful search engine
Splunk Enterprise Platform has a vast and versatile powerful search engine with which I can handle all queries, and creating use cases and the search and dashboard is the main selling point, allowing me to visualize live dashboards. The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR, which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry. Splunk Enterprise Platform serves as a time-saving solution because integrating other sources such as Syslog or router switch firewall is much easier.
