Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a valuable tool that allows us to monitor data from the APS daily."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as typically very good, with minimal downtime or crashes."
"Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"Based on my experience and what I have heard, the customer support for Splunk Enterprise Security is excellent."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is fully scalable because it provides all kinds of configuration in management servers and all cloud integrations such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub, Jenkins, and Cisco as well, and it is quite fully scalable across all platforms."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helps my SOC team prioritize and investigate high-fidelity alerts more effectively by enabling us to quickly gather information, collaborate, and provide various teams with access to the same information, allowing them to follow the workflow to complete the task."
"The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk."
 

Cons

"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The only downside is the pricing."
"Although the technical support is adequate, there is still room for improvement."
"I think Splunk Enterprise Security is relatively scalable, but it relies on your company's capability to get the appropriate and good data inside of Splunk. Without that maturity, Splunk suffers immensely."
"Splunk Enterprise Security would benefit from a more robust rule engine to reduce false positives."
"The tool should include more real-world use case examples built out either through videos or in the community."
"The user interface feels clunky to navigate and interact with in Splunk Enterprise Security compared to other case management solutions where it feels easier to use at a high level."
"The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a worthwhile investment given the comprehensive range of features it offers."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"It's definitely worth it."
"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."
"I work on the technical side, so I don't know precise figures. However, I know that Splunk is a premium product, so it's somewhat costly. Still, you get a lot of unique features for the money."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
