Has streamlined data integration and enabled real-time dashboard visualizations through a powerful search engine
Splunk Enterprise Platform has a vast and versatile powerful search engine with which I can handle all queries, and creating use cases and the search and dashboard is the main selling point, allowing me to visualize live dashboards. The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR, which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry. Splunk Enterprise Platform serves as a time-saving solution because integrating other sources such as Syslog or router switch firewall is much easier.

Cons

"The only problem I have with Splunk Enterprise Platform is that sometimes when I update a review, it takes time to receive confirmation emails."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Based on my experience, I've noticed areas for improvement, particularly in support. Developers typically interact with support personnel who may lack technical expertise when raising support tickets. This can result in delays as initial interactions involve sharing documents before escalation to higher support levels."
"While Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good product, it is expensive. Additionally, it is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion."

This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
