Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Centralized security monitoring has transformed our threat detection and incident response
While Splunk Enterprise Platform is widely regarded as a powerful SIEM and observability platform, users across enterprises commonly report recurring challenges including licensing and data ingestion costs. Splunk Enterprise Platform's licensing is often based on the volume of data ingested, and as our organization grows, costs can increase significantly, and our teams may need to carefully decide which logs to ingest, which can limit visibility. A suggested improvement would be more flexible licensing options, better built-in recommendations for optimizing data ingestion, and smarter data compression or tiered pricing. There is also a steep learning curve where beginners can find SPL difficult. A suggested improvement would be more AI-assisted SPL generation, interactive tutorials, and guided dashboard creation with additional pre-built templates for common SOC use cases. These are the main areas for improvement that I can see: licensing flexibility, reducing the learning curve for new users, simplifying development, improving performance for very large datasets, and providing more AI-assisted features to reduce manual effort. In terms of adding more improvements, there are frequently discussed areas including easier third-party integrations. While Splunk Enterprise Platform supports many integrations, onboarding new security tools sometimes requires custom configurations or add-ons. A suggested improvement would be more plug-and-play integrations, faster support for new vendors, and then simplified administration. Administrators often manage indexes, forwarders, user roles, and cluster health, so a suggested improvement would be easier administration dashboards and automated health checks. These are suggestions that acknowledge Splunk Enterprise Platform's strengths while highlighting areas where many enterprise users see opportunities for further improvement. The primary areas for improvement that I see are licensing flexibility, simplifying administration, expanding plug-and-play integrations, and adding more AI-driven assistance for searches and investigations. These improvements would significantly simplify our tasks and help us solve more incidents in a lesser amount of time, making it flexible even for beginners.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Overall, it is a great tool for security analysis and log monitoring, and it is one of the best tools we have been using."
"I assess the effectiveness of Splunk Enterprise Platform in detecting anomalies and preventing system outages as very strong; for over two to three decades, it has provided centralized log visibility, real-time monitoring, and analytics correlation, which is robust for threat detection and incident investigation."
"What I appreciate most about Splunk Enterprise Platform is that one of the best features is its ability to support customization."
"Overall, Splunk Enterprise Platform helps me monitor system health, reduce incident resolution time, and improve operational efficiency."
"In terms of my favorite features of Splunk Enterprise Platform, it has vast customizability."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"It's not just one feature I like the most. Every person wants to collect and rate logs, and I value how the Splunk Enterprise Platform handles this.The most valuable part for us is setting up the alerts and reports to manage the logs and log metrics. We use it to support every tool across the entire bank.We are the ones who manage all the data, and if there's any issue, everything depends on the Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"Splunk's real-time processing capability has been pretty good for my use cases."
 

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"One area for improvement for Splunk Enterprise Platform is the learning curve."
"Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
"One thing I dislike is definitely the licensing cost, especially when our ingestion volume increases, so it is a bit costly."
"Things have to be managed manually"
"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"The Splunk Enterprise Platform has room for improvement, particularly in automating the permissions process during app promotions. Currently, permissions are manually set when different teams request an application move to production, which is time-consuming. Automating this process would streamline operations by automatically assigning the appropriate permissions and roles to specific services or teams, reducing the need to review each request ticket manually."
