PG
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.

Offers excellent data analysis and visualization capabilities
I use the Platform to monitor my IT infrastructure. There are apps for Linux and Windows servers that capture performance metrics like CPU and memory usage. These metrics are collected and sent to the blank index through forwarders. Splunk helps with security information and event management by detecting and monitoring network equipment and firewalls. It saves searches for specific terms, like threats, in firewall logs. When a match is found, it alerts about potential security breaches, helping to detect and address them. The real-time processing capability in Splunk enhances data monitoring by centrally collecting all data. This allows for easy searching and scheduling of searches, reducing the need for manual intervention. The dashboard and visualization features in Splunk impact data analysis by providing a clear status of data analysis. Users can create customized views for management, helping them understand what is happening within the infrastructure more effectively. I would recommend Splunk to others, especially from the CIM perspective. Its data analysis and visualization capabilities are unmatched, making it an excellent choice for SIM. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform saves approximately 20 to 30 percent of my time without having to perform different actions separately."
"Splunk's real-time processing capability has been pretty good for my use cases."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"From a stability perspective, the tool is good."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform is that it's a customizable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I find the most valuable about the platform is its DB Connect and its versatility in general. I also like its adaptability to any use case when it comes to collecting and analyzing data."
 

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."
"Splunk can be used primarily to port log files, allowing for easy and quick management of large amounts of logs. However, this can also be a drawback due to the configuration, parsing, and dashboard creation limitations. Communication is stream-based, which means you need to do a lot of pre-emptive setup to get a nice export."
"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."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"Sometimes, queries don't give proper results, and the indexes go down."
"The tool lacked in providing a shareable format. I had to use pivot tables and manually parse and edit the data to create a visualization-friendly format. It was helpful when we had an issue. What would make it stronger is if it were more proactive. For example, if it highlighted major incidents and their impact on users without digging through notifications, that would be better. Typically, the first question we get is, "Oh, we had an incident. How bad was it? How many customers were impacted?" So having that information pop up from the notification would be helpful."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform could improve in the area of basic log readability. When performing basic searches without advanced filters, the logs often contain timestamps and various unknown codes or other elements that can be confusing. Removing or simplifying these parts would make it easier for users who are not developers or do not have a development background to understand and find relevant information easily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool."
"Product pricing is typically annual, and discounts are often available for longer-term commitments."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
