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.
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.

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."
"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."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"We evaluated several solutions and selected Splunk due to the functionality and cost."
"Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."
"The most valuable feature is that it brings all of the components necessary to identify, analyze, and respond together."
"Good for log collection and log management."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is fast and well-documented, and user interface and user interaction are well-designed compared to other SIEM solutions."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
 

Cons

"Could include more graphical dashboards and EVP access with other app solutions to build reporting dashboards."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
"The configuration could be better."
"The security can be improved."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"Splunk's high cost, despite its recognition in our region, prevents many organizations from adopting Splunk Enterprise Security, suggesting there's room for improvement in their pricing strategy."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
