Offers intuitive deployment with strong customer support and advanced analytics features
There are improvements that could be made to Splunk User Behavior Analytics as any product will have advantages and disadvantages. Scalability is one consideration. For example, the advantages include rapid auto scaling to meet demand. A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed. The speed of deployment offers faster provisioning as an advantage, but it can require substantial automation skills and infrastructure as code expertise, which can be challenging. Cloud provides major operational benefits such as agility, automation, resilience, and global access when setting up on Cloud. However, it introduces challenges such as cost control, complexity, and vendor dependency. For example, global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Securonix UEBA include insider threat monitoring, which provides complete visibility of user activities, and next-gen AI-based behavior analytics."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"The feature dashboard is very well organized and intuitive to use. It organizes information on a timeline which is exactly what we need for insider threat future-analysis."
"One of the most valuable features is UEBA. It's pretty helpful for us to make sure of our thresholds for any of our clients."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"Splunk is highly valuable for query purposes."
"Our main use of this solution is threat intelligence and we are very satisfied with it, as it is exactly what we need in our situation."
"This is a good security product."
"In Egypt, we have phones that provide wide internet services to the customer and the customer wants to know what the customer satisfaction and service was, then they post on their Facebook or Twitter page to measure the customer satisfaction and after one or two days they start to take the comments and they enter these comments to Splunk and the UBA starts to make correlations and analytics on this data, and finally, the managers or the decision maker get the results, which is wonderful, and the customer is satisfied."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
 

Cons

"The support system is not very good as of now."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"There is room for improvement in the algorithms. Although I said that we have a very solid starting point - our existing library is already very comprehensive - we constantly find areas where we need to develop new algorithms. That is common across platforms. Any vendor with a solid starting point would still need to continue to evolve."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"Splunk can improve the UBA."
"I would like to see an enhancement in the automation of creating the rules."
"In terms of improvements, advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency. Additionally, there are challenges with configuration findings during lexical analysis."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"High data ingestion costs can be an issue, especially for large enterprises, as Splunk charges based on the amount of data processed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
