Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great.""It's easily scalable.""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.""We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."

"The initial setup process is easy.""Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management.""The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions.""The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy.""The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."

Cons
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""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.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules.""Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions.""They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."

More Splunk User Behavior Analytics Cons →

"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software.""There is always room for improvement.""They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product.""We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve.""When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "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."
  • More Splunk User Behavior Analytics Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Zscaler has so far been solely responsible for all the sales we have done with it, so it would be more suited than us to address any issues concerning the pricing."
  • "The software has become more expensive at present."
  • "The product is not affordable for small and medium enterprises."
