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

"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform offers the best features in that it is easy and very fast, allowing end users to see the value and true benefit of implementing Splunk Enterprise Platform software."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive."
"The most valuable feature I've found in the Splunk Enterprise Platform is its log readability and filtering capabilities. The filters on the left side are particularly useful, allowing me to quickly narrow down the data to what's relevant for any application or server service. The interesting fields feature helps me get the values I need most of the time."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform has the Search Processing Language, which is the query language for the product, and the advantage is that I can log and monitor all of the microservices in a single location."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to secure Sony globally effectively and consistently."
"Splunk Enterprise is a wireless enterprise application that can be customized based on training."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform has positively impacted our organization by providing insight into our environment in a centralized manner so that we don't have to set up alerts in a bunch of different places; we just have to look at one place to get what we need."
 

Cons

"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can improve in defense capabilities by blocking suspicious and malicious activities or preventing attacks."
"The only problem I have with Splunk Enterprise Platform is that sometimes when I update a review, it takes time to receive confirmation emails."
"Splunk could improve by enhancing its graphical view functionality. Compared to other BI tools, Splunk's graphic features are limited; customers desire detailed, rich visual effects, like world maps showing threat attacks as animations."
"The licensing model is based on data ingestion volume and can become expensive as organizations grow."
"However, in the last couple of years, the support staff do not necessarily understand the problems I report and sometimes simply regard them as bugs."
"From my perspective, Splunk tends to be too expensive for smaller customers."
"When concerning the cost of Splunk Enterprise Platform, the license cost can be a factor."
"One way Splunk Enterprise Platform can be improved is that cost is always going to be a problem."
