We performed a comparison between ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Identity Behavior tab furnishes us with the entire history linked to each IP or domain that has either accessed or attempted to access our system."
"The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products."
"One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"Sentinel is a SIEM and SOAR tool, so its automation is the best feature; we can reduce human interaction, freeing up our human resources."
"The most valuable feature is the alert notifications, which are categorized by severity levels: informational, low, medium, and high."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"It is stable."
"The user interface is very good."
"Recently, Splunk upgraded to version 9.0.02, which includes excellent data dashboards and visualization effects."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware."
"The log aggregation is great."
"Good for log collection and log management."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"It's very flexible. If you look from the cloud implementation it is there. Reports are made quickly. Unlike other tools, it caters to all kinds of technical information on the front very easily. There's no need to put in any technical information. You can pull on the reports very easily, take action, and notify stakeholders."
"The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"The performance could be improved. If I create 15 to 20 lines for a single-use case in KQL, sometimes it takes more time to execute. If I create use cases within a certain timeline, the result will show in .01 seconds. A complex query takes more time to get results."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"We have been working with multiple customers, and every time we onboard a customer, we are missing an essential feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in Sentinel. We searched the forums and knowledge bases but couldn't find a solution. When you onboard new customers, you need to enable the data connectors. That part is easy, but you must create rules from scratch for every associated connector. You click "next," "next," "next," and it requires five clicks for each analytical rule. Imagine we have a customer with 150 rules."
"Sentinel's reporting is complex and can be more user-friendly."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"Sentinel still has some anomalies. For example, sometimes when we write a query for log analysis with KQL, it doesn't give us the data in a proper way... Also, the fields or columns could be improved. Sometimes, it is not giving the desired results and there is a blank field."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The scalability is limited."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could improve in automation, flexibility, and providing more content out of the box."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"Splunk could enhance its services by providing more comprehensive professional assistance aimed at optimizing our investment."
