Provides great data on business growth as well as analytics for future business planning
The solution is particularly useful in terms of future business planning. It also helps with current data on business growth. As a cloud solution, this is one of the best. It has the IT Analytics and integrates well with big data analytics in ADW and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. There are some fantastic features. The solution also has the OBIEE component. I think it's a game changer.

Built-in searches and unified data access streamline alert investigation and boosts analyst efficiency
The two features I appreciate the most in Splunk Enterprise Security are the built-in searches, which have been very easy for us to get started with right out of the box, and the fact that it accesses all of our other systems. You can access it as a pane of glass rather than having to search individually. We also have the option to compare our analysts from our service to service. Splunk Enterprise Security helps our SOC team prioritize and investigate high-fidelity alerts more effectively by providing a more in-depth look and the ability to access a lot more of our data. Instead of jumping from several segmented systems, it allows us to have everything brought together in one place. For example, you have to move from our purview to our build system and to Splunk Enterprise Security, and it enables us to streamline that process. The built-in features of Splunk Enterprise Security, which we recently procured, have given us a good starting point and demonstrated the value of the product, providing an easy way to sell it to our company. The ease of getting everything into our purview helps us, and it serves as a good start for the investigation part in one location rather than what we usually have, which is jumping from system to system to system. Splunk Enterprise Security plays a role in our company's strategy to combat insider threats and advanced persistent threats by currently being in its technical test phase. We are still rolling it out, and it should help us find any insider threats based on information that our policy states should not be present in our system. Splunk Enterprise Security's risk-based alerting (RBA) has impacted our alert volume and analyst productivity because we've got many different systems feeding into it. However, it has helped to make it easier for our analysts to go through a set of events rather than 100 alerts. RBA allows us to streamline the process and customize it for our analysts. When it comes to leveraging Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards and visualizations to communicate security posture to executives, it's pretty straightforward for any type of information. The visualization is easy to understand, but I haven't had any direct conversations with our executives.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Particularly useful in terms of future business planning."
"Its search is very flexible, allowing you to search anything by typing a sentence."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its data modeling."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's value lies in its ability to collect and analyze security logs, providing insightful dashboards."
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a very useful application to collect all the logs and also to find out the problems."
"I can create dashboards to collect and view information in a tabular, graphical format. This feature is important because it helps me understand time-series data over one or two hours."
"Splunk Enterprise Security allows us to create custom dashboards by changing fonts and modifying widgets."
 

Cons

"Could include more graphical dashboards and EVP access with other app solutions to build reporting dashboards."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not exactly user-friendly."
"We don't have SOAR products from Splunk. I believe that's an important piece."
"The Splunk platform is not unified. We have all of these different tools and they feel a bit disjointed."
"Its deployment is difficult. I remember when I first started learning, I faced several challenges, especially when deploying VMware in a virtual environment."
"The system can be intimidating, and sometimes the concepts conveyed in the documentation require adjustment."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
"One area Splunk Enterprise Security fails to improve is the pricing aspect; while the initial pricing seems fine, the licensing cost can skyrocket over time, creating trauma for organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing could be made more competitive."
"From what I have seen so far, Splunk has multiple cost models. The one that we are using is pretty good when it comes to ingesting data into the environment. It has worked out pretty well."
"I am not personally involved with the pricing of the solution."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."
"I assume that the pricing is reasonable, because if it was too costly, there are other alternatives."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
