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.

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

"Particularly useful in terms of future business planning."
"As a cloud solution, this is one of the best."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is fully scalable because it provides all kinds of configuration in management servers and all cloud integrations such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub, Jenkins, and Cisco as well, and it is quite fully scalable across all platforms."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"It's similar to having a car. It's a necessity. I don't have to prove to the business executives that it provides return on investment. It's a necessary function and a must-have."
"Other than that, this is a very stable and very easy to configure product."
"The performance is very good; it's something that customers are always looking for, and the product offers good stability with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it reliable."
"We've seen quite extensive ROI, however, it's more of a qualitative assessment and I don't have numbers to share."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"The search function for splunk is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more graphical dashboards and EVP access with other application solutions to build the reporting dashboards."
"I think Splunk Enterprise Security is relatively scalable, but it relies on your company's capability to get the appropriate and good data inside of Splunk. Without that maturity, Splunk suffers immensely."
"The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
"As far as reliability goes, I think that the AI capabilities will still need some human interaction, and I do not feel comfortable yet truly trusting everything that AI does."
"The only downside is the pricing."
"Scalability is always a question for this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Splunk Enterprise becomes extremely expensive after the 20GB/month license."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a worthwhile investment given the comprehensive range of features it offers."
"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."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
"It is a bit costly."
"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."
