Splunk Enterprise Security Reviews

We use it for security operations and management.

The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable.

Its interface could be improved. 

We have been a reseller for three years.

It is stable. It is very powerful.

Their support is good.

Its initial setup is complex. You're going to need deployment services from somebody who is an expert in the product. You would need at least two users. 

It is hard to integrate because it can do so many things. A lot of people think it is a set-it-and-forget-it solution, but it is a full-time job for somebody. I would advise others to plan and prepare for ongoing management. It requires a dedicated person for management. 

Compared to other SIEMs, it is a 10 out of 10.

The solution is very fast and succinct. 

When it comes to out of the box use cases, I feel the solution to be too slow. 

I have not been working with Splunk for long. 

The initial setup was simple. 

It took an hour. 

Curator is more scalable than certain other solutions. 

We are partners of Splunk and provide the solution to customers. 

I feel Splunk is easy to utilize. 

My company has an app. on which the solution is deployed on-premises on a single server. 

There is another team in my company that works with Splunk products. 

I rate Splunk as a seven-point-five out of ten. 

We use Splunk for analyzing data.

The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data.

The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed.

I have been using Splunk within the past 12 months.

The solution has been stable.

Our customers are mostly enterprise-sized companies using this solution. 

Splunk has many partners that provide customer support that can be used.

The initial setup is not easy. Customers have to learn the Splunk language and it is hard to operate it by themselves. They will need Splunk engineers to assist in their projects.

You will need a Splunk implementation specialist for the deployment.

My customers have found the price of the solution to be high.

I rate Splunk a five out of ten.

There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources. Most of the time you have to do some customization for the data because not everything is working the way it should. Additionally, in other solutions, it is easier to build use cases.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

I have previously used Curator and it was much easier to use than this solution.

I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case. It is not easy for new customers. You need to have the experience to be able to do it.

When using this solution for Security Information Management(SIM), I highly recommend importing data sources from the whole cycle for the service security chain. Some people only use main inputs and not all of the data sources they have. They might not have some data sources, in this case, you can purchase one or there are free open-source ones available. You will then have this data source that can enrich your life because many correlations are done with this data. 

I rate Splunk an eight out of ten.

We are using it for security information and event management (SIEM). We have started to use Splunk recently, and we are in the implementation phase as of now.

The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good.

It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful. The platform part is good, but it requires many features from the security aspect.

I have been using this solution for a couple of months.

It is absolutely stable.

It is scalable. We have approximately 25 users.

It was easy to install. Its configuration and development are the critical parts, and there are a limited number of people in the market with such a skill set. It takes some time to find people with the right skill set and get it implemented properly. It took approximately three months.

I have a team of a few Splunk consultants who are currently managing it for me. For a mid-sized organization, at least 15 persons are required to manage the entire Splunk instance.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Splunk an eight out of ten.
