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…
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

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"Overall, Splunk is among the top three SIEM tools due to its capabilities and agility in bridging business analytics with security needs."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"I am enjoying our implementation of risk-based alerting. That has helped very much with cutting out a lot of the noise that we have. It has reduced our alert volume significantly. There is about an 80% reduction."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"There is a learning curve in order to start using machine learning. We have been trying to do it for three years, and we have not managed anything. It is too complex."
"Splunk isn't appropriate for smaller companies. It's too expensive."
"Could be more user friendly."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"Splunk Enterprise Security would benefit from a more robust rule engine to reduce false positives."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"I would like more assistance with use cases and help with teaching us how to use it once it's installed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"I think that most of the monitoring solutions are expensive."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"The price is comparable."
"It is a bit costly."
"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
