It can be delivered on a specialised appliance or on the customer's hardware, but the GUI is quite basic.
Velocimetrics can be deployed as a software or hardware based solution. It captures business-level data from multiple sources, then associates, correlates and aggregates this information together in real-time. The product can be clustered for resilience and scaled to cope with complex and high…

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides good forensic investigations features allowing review of what else was going on at the time of an incident."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"One of the best features Splunk Enterprise Security offers is integrating everything into one platform."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I have found most valuable include the risk-based score and UBA/UEBA, user behavior analytics, or user and entity behavior analytics."
"Before Splunk, we used Kibana and Elasticsearch; sometimes, with them, logs wouldn't even be there, so Splunk being there and working does a lot."
"The speed of the search engine"
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"After implementing Splunk Enterprise Security, we have seen the downtime reduced approximately 30 to 40%."
 

Cons

"The GUI is quite basic and can look messy very quickly"
"The integration feature with other applications, such as anti-DDoS application Arbor, needs to be more powerful."
"During my experience with Splunk Enterprise Security, I have faced some significant challenges, particularly with customers adapting from version 7 to version 8."
"My organization does not completely utilize risk-based alerting in Splunk Enterprise Security as it's not fully mature."
"I would like to see improvements in user-friendliness, as it is quite challenging for a newcomer to learn SPL queries or get hands-on with Splunk Enterprise Security."
"Right now, it is too easy for a user to write a query, run it, make it available in polling mode (real-time mode), and bring down the server."
"The GUI, now called Mission Control, which serves as issue management or ticket management, falls below what would be considered industry standards."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"I believe that Splunk Enterprise Security is worth the price, but it is expensive."
"Be upfront about your needs and expectations. Splunk is great to work with."
"The tool's licensing is good and we haven't received any complaints from the team handling it."
"Setup cost is cheap: It is free, it is user-friendly, and it is fast."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
"It can be cost-prohibitive when you start to scale and have terabytes of data. Its cost model is based on how much data it processes a day. If they're able to create scaled-down niche or custom package offerings, it may help with the cost. Instead of the full-blown features, if they can narrow the scope where it can only be used for a specific purpose, it would kind of create that market for the product, and it may help with the costing. When you start using it as a central aggregator and you're pumping tons of logs at it, pretty soon, you'll start hitting your cap on what it can process a day. Once you've got that, you're kind of defeating the purpose because you're going to have to scale back."
"It is expensive. I work for multiple clients. I am working for more than five clients, but most of the clients are switching from Splunk to Sentinel because of the cost. Even though Sentinel is very limited, clients are moving to Sentinel."
