Has efficient security measures and seamless integration capabilities
The product's user experience needs improvement. They could refine the interface and make the platform more intuitive and user-friendly for enterprises and developers. Additionally, improving integration capabilities with other blockchain networks and legacy systems would broaden its applicability and facilitate smoother integration into existing infrastructures. The platform should focus on being more developer-friendly and ensuring a user interface that is not overly tricky. Continuous optimization of performance and scalability to handle increasing workloads is crucial for seamless operation. Lastly, ongoing research and development efforts should remain vigilant against emerging threats to incorporate the latest advancements and solidify the platform's security.
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 most valuable feature of Quantum Smart-1 Cloud lies in its scalability, providing a secure infrastructure for enterprise applications."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the reporting and the traffic view that the product provides its users."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"The community marketplace is useful; often, you do not need to rely on Splunk Enterprise Security support due to the wealth of online documentation available—Splunk docs are truly beneficial."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is the comprehensive logging capabilities it provides."
"It is a very stable solution. I never really had a hiccup with the tool."
"The benefits my company has seen from the use of Splunk Enterprise Security revolve around the speed of detection it offers."
"Splunk can deliver more information by going deeper. By creating a dashboard, we can identify the root cause of the threat. Let's say I have a firewall from Check Point. Splunk will find the dashboard for Check Point, implement it in our environment, and connect it to the Check Point firewall logs, which are shown on the dashboard. If we request a custom dashboard, the engineer will take longer to complete the task."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
 

Cons

"They could refine the interface and make the platform more intuitive and user-friendly for enterprises and developers."
"VPN configuration can get clunky sometimes."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"The glass table feature does not perform as expected."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"Its interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Quantum Smart-1 Cloud stands out with its competitive pricing model, finely tuned to accommodate diverse user capabilities."
"Compared to the on-premises solution, I rate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"Splunk is a bit pricier, but the benefits and ROI are huge."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a worthwhile investment given the comprehensive range of features it offers."
"I would highly recommend anyone evaluating this option to download the free trial which allows for the ingestion of 500MB of data per day in order to get a feel for what Splunk does at its core. It will get pricey once your ingestion rates start to sky rocket, but I would consider it expensive given the amount of information that it allows you to analyze and react on straight out-of-the-box."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."
"The pricing can be better. We are already considering Elastic because Splunk is too expensive. You have to pay based on per-day ingestion. There should be a more flexible model for the use cases where one day you have a huge amount, and on other days, it is quite less."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
