Pros

"The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product.""Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues.""Good for log collection and log management.""Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data.""Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful.""The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me.""The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports.""It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."

Cons
"The pricing could be improved.""The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas.""Reporting is sometimes a little slow."

More Oracle Log Analytics Cloud Service Cons →

"Better directions on search head clusters.""The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster.""Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this.""We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers.""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 can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done.""Some of the terminology can be confusing, even for seasoned vets. Renaming components at this point would be a serious undertaking. However, it might be beneficial in the long run.""The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
