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.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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​."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I have found most valuable include the risk-based score and UBA/UEBA, user behavior analytics, or user and entity behavior analytics."
"Over the course of using Splunk Enterprise Security, it has helped us grow our business and attract more clients due to its low mean time to respond and various analytic engines that help us address threats daily, resulting in positive customer feedback and satisfaction."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as very reliable and very stable."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"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."
"When using this solution for Security Information Management (SIM), I highly recommend importing data sources from the whole cycle for the service security chain."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
 

Cons

"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"
"​It needs to have better reporting. ​"
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"It would be nice if Splunk provided a little more documentation and instructions on how to upload. The steps are short, but sometimes it's not so intuitive."
"One of the improvement points that Enterprise Security could offer is on-prem training, the availability to have a Splunk representative come out to different sites and actually sit down with the organizations and help them understand."
"Splunk's high cost, despite its recognition in our region, prevents many organizations from adopting Splunk Enterprise Security, suggesting there's room for improvement in their pricing strategy."
"Considering the contract thing and the whole legal area, it takes forever to get the contracts signed and to be able to agree to the terms and conditions for my company as well as for Splunk's team."
"Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process."
"One complaint is that it is very expensive for organizations."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security fluctuates based on the customer, but I believe it's quite costly, especially for our clientele."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"Splunk is priced higher than other solutions."
"Splunk is really expensive."
"It is quite expensive."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
"It would be nice if the pricing were cheaper. However, we did purchase it."
