Pros
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility.""I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS.""The reporting feature was the key differentiator.

More Gurucul UEBA Pros →

"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks.""The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features.""It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled.""It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."

Cons
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system.""Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves.""It could be more stable."

More Gurucul UEBA Cons →

"The price of Splunk UBA is too high.""They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules.""Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes.""We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."

    Overview

    Threats are a moving target. Determined and persistent threat actors purposely stretch out their activity across weeks or even months, especially when most SIEM and XDR solutions are incapable of piecing together events across time. Even worse, is that these solutions primarily use rule-based Machine Learning, which is essentially pattern matching. This makes them especially ineffective in detecting new attacks and/or variants, which are highly successful in breaching organizations. Discover how Gurucul UEBA security can help your enterprise.

    Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a behavior-based threat detection is based on machine learning methodologies that require no signatures or human analysis, enabling multi-entity behavior profiling and peer group analytics – for users, devices, service accounts and applications. It detects insider threats and external attacks using out-of-the-box purpose-built that helps organizations find known, unknown and hidden threats, but extensible unsupervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, provides context around the threat via ML driven anomaly correlation and visual mapping of stitched anomalies over various phases of the attack lifecycle (Kill-Chain View). It uses a data science driven approach that produces actionable results with risk ratings and supporting evidence that increases SOC efficiency and supports bi-directional integration with Splunk Enterprise for data ingestion and correlation and with Splunk Enterprise Security for incident scoping, workflow management and automated response. The result is automated, accurate threat and anomaly detection.
