User-friendly initial setup, reliable, and effective wireless intrusion prevention

Senior Manager at Bank of America
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 initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I have found most valuable include the risk-based score and UBA/UEBA, user behavior analytics, or user and entity behavior analytics."
"There are many use cases for Splunk, we commonly use it for log management and analytics."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has definitely helped us save time; it has helped us tremendously with preventing breaches of SLA on incidents and tickets as well as with ticket volume and log analysis."
"The end-to-end visibility into our environment that Splunk provides is impressive. We just need to use it better."
"The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The access and identity features could be improved. For example, let's say we have onboarded 65 logs. Now, we can identify the various processes, but we run into trouble when we're updating the processes for AWS CloudTrail, EDR, MDR, and XDR."
"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."
"I would like to have fraud detection features. Fraud is within the same turf as with security operations. Fraud and cybersecurity work hand in hand. I would like to have detection capabilities, or at least dashboards in Enterprise Security for fraud."
"It can be easier to setup and adding new sources which Splunk are improving with every new version."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
"When we were trying to implement an enterprise solution on-premise, we had scaling issues."
"Splunk Enterprise Security provides us with the relevant context to help guide our investigations, but it would be interesting to add even more context, for instance, in order to raise the level of risk."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"Splunk is priced higher than other solutions."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It would be nice if the pricing were cheaper. However, we did purchase it."
"Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
"The cost is on the high end, which makes it difficult for some organizations to use."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
