Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
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

"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as very reliable and very stable."
"Scalability-wise, the tool is awesome since you can add or reduce your resources in an easy way."
"One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us."
"The stability of Splunk Enterprise Security is very impressive; it is a very stable product."
"Overall, Splunk Enterprise Security has reduced our MTTR by approximately 30%."
"I have seen a return on investment with Splunk Enterprise Security, particularly in terms of money saved, as it has helped save money by allowing us to avoid renewing our previous SIEM, leading us to save hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."
 

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."
"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"Since I am currently working with SOAR, I would like to give recommendations regarding Splunk SOAR, as there are very few ready-made apps, and we face problems with integration, which requires us to write to the vendor for help."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"The area of concern revolves around the fact that Splunk is an expensive product."
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
"One of the improvement points that Enterprise Security could offer is on-prem training, the availability to have a Splunk representative come out to different sites and actually sit down with the organizations and help them understand."
"It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated."
"Their sales support and tech support are really bad. They take really long to respond."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved with more ease of configuration. It is pretty straightforward to get it started, however, to really check if my data is all available and how to activate the right use case and the right correlations is still sometimes a hassle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"Most people share the same thought that the ingestion rates can get pretty pricey. There is a lot of work we do to curate the data that we send to Splunk so that it is not too noisy or too expensive."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive but the solution is equipped with a lot of features."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
"Splunk is expensive based on our current requirements, but it's obviously worth what we pay."
"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."
"Its price is fair. Like with anything else, if you go into the cloud, different providers cost more, and you are able to throttle back or throttle up. The cost is comparable with anything else."
