Performance monitoring impacts operations with fast storage setup
Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me. The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage. The Analyzer and the Ops center provide a better solution. Before this, we used a CVP with slow performance. This solution works better than before. The visualization vector in the last version is something we have. It is easy to work with and add the storage type. There is no difficulty in adding it.

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.

Pros

"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"It was easy to set up."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL​. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"The varied prebuilt feature is the most valuable because it ensures that we have complete coverage over all of the key questions."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. ​"
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"The ease of use and building queries, specifically SQL queries, is notably beneficial as it is easy to build, and the data model itself is very simple."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
 

Cons

"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"The system can be intimidating, and sometimes the concepts conveyed in the documentation require adjustment."
"It takes time to train people."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"I would like to see the asset and identity lookups be more automatic and less manual."
"The product is relatively expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."
"I would highly recommend anyone evaluating this option to download the free trial which allows for the ingestion of 500MB of data per day in order to get a feel for what Splunk does at its core. It will get pricey once your ingestion rates start to sky rocket, but I would consider it expensive given the amount of information that it allows you to analyze and react on straight out-of-the-box."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"The pricing model is expensive and a nightmare based on the amount of data."
"Splunk is expensive based on our current requirements, but it's obviously worth what we pay."
