Beneficial AI detection, helpful support, but modern UI needed
The initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System requires a bunch of steps starting with installing the hardware and setting it up. However, most of the setup is done by the vendor. I rate the initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System an eight out of ten. The vendor provides free training in the software provided.

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

"One or two people can maintain and support the solution. The maintenance is not difficult."
"The most valuable features of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System are the AI detection and monitoring of common threats."
"Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable."
"The automation is very good; the product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"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."
"Splunk is highly valuable for query purposes."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"In Egypt, we have phones that provide wide internet services to the customer and the customer wants to know what the customer satisfaction and service was, then they post on their Facebook or Twitter page to measure the customer satisfaction and after one or two days they start to take the comments and they enter these comments to Splunk and the UBA starts to make correlations and analytics on this data, and finally, the managers or the decision maker get the results, which is wonderful, and the customer is satisfied."
"We enjoy the overall usability; you just look at the dashboard and you have all the data that you need at a glance."
 

Cons

"The UI dashboard view needs to be improved because it is ugly. If it was more modern it would be better. Additionally, better integration with other databases would be good."
"Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System can improve by having more anti-spam features that will hopefully eliminate all of the other threats."
"The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart."
"I think they could have a built-in user behavior analytics engine, and more advanced artificial intelligence features as well."
"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."
"There are occasional bugs."
"A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed."
"I wouldn't buy Splunk because of the cost, because you can't budget for it."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"High data ingestion costs can be an issue, especially for large enterprises, as Splunk charges based on the amount of data processed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is good. It is less expensive than the other solutions in the market. There are not any additional features or hidden costs."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"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."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
