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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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 best features in Splunk User Behavior Analytics include anomaly detection, behavioral profiling, and risk scoring and prioritization functionality."
"This product is the easiest way to check if the work's correct."
"From my experience and from the security perspective, I recommend this product for all the people that need good security for investigation."
"We have seen a decrease in the mean time to detect threats by about 15 to 20 percent."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
 

Cons

"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."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The support system is not very good as of now."
"The dashboard part could be improved."
"A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart."
"I wouldn't buy Splunk because of the cost, because you can't budget for it."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
 

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."
"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."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
