Technical support is knowledgeable and quick to respond
It is used for compliance Gathering information Scheduling It needs to have better reporting.  More than five years. We have not encountered any issues with stability. We have not encountered any issues with scalability. I would rate the technical support very well as they are…

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.

Pros

"We have not encountered any issues with stability."
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"Incident detection is the positive impact I have seen from Splunk Enterprise Security; it probably saved the company from financial losses because of the early detection of the incidents."
"With Splunk, we can do things we want and things we have not even dreamed of yet."
"Splunk has a great platform, with a user-friendly interface and GUI, and its architecture is also much more sophisticated than others."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a very useful application to collect all the logs and also to find out the problems. You can easily create whatever you want by using its features, and it also has the capability to collect from all kinds of different platforms. Splunk Enterprise Security provides me with all the alerts."
"I find the process for customizing, developing, testing, deploying, and refining detections in Splunk Enterprise Security effective."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
 

Cons

"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"
"​It needs to have better reporting. ​"
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"The technical support can be improved because sometimes when we call them, the issues are not resolved immediately and tickets take time to be addressed."
"The user interface is the main area for improvement."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"The user interface is not user-friendly for non-technical users."
"My organization does not completely utilize risk-based alerting in Splunk Enterprise Security as it's not fully mature."
"Technical support services are lacking, especially after you buy the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."
"It is possible to use a developer's license, which is up to 10GB per day of volume traffic, which is usually enough for most use cases."
"The license for Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"The licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
