Easy to install, highly secure standards, and reliable
We use Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service for security information, event management, and analytics. This has helped eliminate any external network attacks The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good. They are following the global…

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 is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"Splunk Enterprise Security comes with 300 pre-deployed use cases that can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of our organization, without the need to purchase additional tools."
"It's extremely scalable, it's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has definitely helped us save time; it has helped us tremendously with preventing breaches of SLA on incidents and tickets as well as with ticket volume and log analysis."
"When we use a centralized log monitoring system we can see things on the dashboard and it is easier for the IT manager or an IT engineer to take corrective action in the system."
"We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has positively impacted my organization greatly; without it, I don't even know how we had a SOC previously."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"The tool drastically reduces SOC overhead. Its integration with our tool suite is great and helps us correlate events. The solution is also a lot faster than our standalone instances."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce my team's average mean time to resolve, as they find it hard to use Splunk, and they are more used to Sentinel."
"I still think we're in a significant process of getting the use cases and utilization of Splunk sorted out."
"Some additional features that should be included in the next release of Splunk Enterprise Security are an integrated Attack Range, not as a separate solution, providing a way to test the rules in the production environment."
"We're planning to incorporate UBA and SOAR. It would be good to have everything in one place."
"Splunk is on the right path. It's good, but it does not provide everything that we need."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"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."
"The tool's licensing is good and we haven't received any complaints from the team handling it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"Pricing is pretty fair."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is competitive."
