The infographics feature is unique to Necto. However, they need better tutorials and community support.
The best feature I liked is the infographics which is great and it's best unique feature. It helps developers use existing infographics from the library or they can create their own and present to end users It's quite easy to create reports in Necto using the infographics feature. Collaboration…

Centralized monitoring has given our SOC real-time visibility into security and application activity
When I first implemented Splunk Security Essentials in this environment, it took a week for each log source to onboard and to create use cases and implement the data model, CIM, etc., for production readiness. Training is mandatory, and we need at least the Splunk Security Essentials User certification because it is a very critical resource in the organization, as we are handling security logs. In my organization, Splunk Security Essentials is used not only by the SOC but also for monitoring logs across different teams, as it is important for handling both security and application logs, given its capability to manage unstructured logs. Splunk Security Essentials has dramatically impacted my organization, as without it, we were blind to what is happening from both a security and application perspective, and it provides vital visibility into the organization's operations.

Pros

"If your data sources are many and ETL consumes a lot of your time, go for Panorama Necto."
"Very good tool for the ones who are looking for ease of use and rich data visualization."
"This tool exceeded my expectations!"
"Excellent in memory performance, return results with clicks, matchless click to collaborate features, just initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight."
"Panorama Necto's easy UI helps us to work with the data."
"It is an intuitive and jazzy infographics tool which is easy to use, trained, and deploy and it is very cost effective and generates high ROI for small and mid-sized companies."
"It connects to any data source."
"Due to Panorama Necto, everything becomes centralized now, so anyone can easily access their reports from a central repository."
"We are focusing on security to ensure incidents are reported efficiently. In addition to that, for reporting purposes, we are utilizing our dashboards or creating new ones. We will be using free visualization tools for this purpose."
"The network monitoring feature is particularly valuable for gathering information about users, login times, and other statistics."
"Splunk Security Essentials has dramatically impacted my organization, as without it, we were blind to what is happening from both a security and application perspective, and it provides vital visibility into the organization's operations."
"I would have to rate Splunk Security Essentials a 10 out of 10 because it's free and there's tons of usable content."
"Splunk Security Essentials has impacted my organization in that we have been getting the results that we wanted."

Cons

"It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large."
"This is not compatible with Mac OS and Blackberry."
"Large data-set analysis performance"
"I don't think it would support data analytics if the data set is really very big."
"The user console is bit complicated when beginning to work with it."
"Panorama Necto 14 community support should be improved."
"Support for multiple languages is still under review and yet to be implemented."
"Second thing is the limited support for big data analytics, this again is not very critical at the moment but it is a good to have functionality, and soon once the user are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for option like big data analytics, etc."
"The biggest friction points I have with Splunk Security Essentials are the high license costs and user behavior that causes performance issues due to inappropriate wildcard searches."
"The reporting feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"If I could change one thing about Splunk Security Essentials, it would be pricing. I believe they are still very costly as compared to the competition."
"It takes a lot of time to install Splunk Security Essentials. It's not very difficult, but it requires time."
"They could add more AI content or AI and machine learning."
"The price could be improved."
