I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful; Splunk agents are useful and good, and its UI is quite impressive."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I have found most valuable include the risk-based score and UBA/UEBA, user behavior analytics, or user and entity behavior analytics."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it helps with our use cases to detect anomalies in our data and it is important to my company since we have a lot of data on different logs on the systems."
"Some of the insights that we have obtained as a part of using Splunk have greatly helped us in increasing our revenue in terms of selling our products."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most, and it is also quite easy to use, with dashboards, visualizations, and analytics that are good."
"We evaluated several solutions and selected Splunk due to the functionality and cost."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"The integration feature with other applications, such as anti-DDoS application Arbor, needs to be more powerful."
"To improve Splunk Enterprise Security, I would suggest allowing third-party SOAR solutions to work with it."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved with more ease of configuration. It is pretty straightforward to get it started, however, to really check if my data is all available and how to activate the right use case and the right correlations is still sometimes a hassle."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
"My experience with the solution's setup cost, pricing, and licensing was really good."
"I believe that Splunk Enterprise Security is worth the price, but it is expensive."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"It's definitely worth it."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
