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 most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"Splunk Enterprise Security Essentials has contributed to a reduction in analyst burnout or fatigue, and the speed of finding data and correlating it is a big helper in improving my daily work experience and retention for our security team."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is amazing."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"It saves us a lot of time, just in man-hours, and being able to look at hundreds or thousands of servers simultaneously."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to alert and use its threat intel and asset modeling capabilities to accurately see what is happening, when it's happening, and who it's happening to."
"Since Splunk is a platform for data, we can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is the comprehensive logging capabilities it provides."
 

Cons

"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 solution's stability needs to be improved."
"Due to the size limit, we could not see the full product."
"In terms of improvement, the dashboards are not up to the mark. If you compare with Tableau and Power BI reports, they are more customized, more user-friendly, and more interactive."
"I don't really know how to answer how Splunk Enterprise Security's scalability is, but for the time being, it covers what we need, and I don't feel like we're actually utilizing everything."
"In the next release of Splunk, I think the machine learning should be emphasized."
"Beyond support, the pricing tier of Splunk Enterprise Security could be better, as it is an expensive solution; however, the cost reflects the value delivered."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"To improve Splunk Enterprise Security, I suggest incorporating more AI features for faster remediation and enhanced responses, allowing users to build more correlation searches quickly."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."
"Licensing is a yearly, one-time cost."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"The solution is costly."
"Splunk is not free."
"This product could use better pricing in general."
"My customers have found the price of the solution to be high."
"Personnel costs are saved by not having to involve the domain developers from multiple teams when tracing a problem that spans multiple platforms."
