Provides real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution
INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems. It shows quickly the root cause of problems, and can give specific details from the transaction (from when the transaction started). It shows a lot of details related to that transaction. * It's a non-intrusive solution. * It provides real-time information alerts. * We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution. The customer can save time and money because it's a way of detecting the root cause of problems. For banks, it helps customers from fraud that many banks are experiencing. Therefore, customers can be more secure in their transactions, and banks can monitor fraud.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Pros

"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped speed up our security investigations."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"It provides a lot of analytics with the underlying AI engine, and it is a lot easier than other solutions. There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"The dashboard is amazing. Out-of-the-box dashboard is very good. It is very user-friendly."
"I like the Splunk dashboard and search engine."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
"For us, the area that Splunk Enterprise Security can improve is performance optimization."
"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"The documentation is in definite need of improvement."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
"The security can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"I believe that Splunk Enterprise Security is worth the price, but it is expensive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive. I would rate the cost an eight out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
