It is one of the things that separates it from other tooling, and if not, it is the most scalable solution out there.

Room For Improvement

Logz.io users seek improved access control, AI features, pricing, and dashboard customization for enhanced functionality and scalability.
Splunk Enterprise Security needs improvements in AI, integration, user experience, licensing costs, cloud features, and visualization tools.
Their features align with offerings from Elastic Stack and other prominent tools, including functionalities available from Prometheus or Grafana, providing centralized logging and other capabilities in the UI.
Associate Director at Husk Power Systems
Logz.io can be improved by adding more AI-assisted root cause analysis and by improving log retention flexibility.
DevOps Engineer at Veefin
Improving the infrastructure behind Splunk Enterprise Security is vital—enhanced cores, CPUs, and memory should be prioritized to support better processing power.

Splunk Enterprise Security is not something that automatically picks things; you have to set up use cases, update data models, and link the right use cases to the right data models for those detections to happen.
Security & Risk Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
For any future enhancements or features, such as MLTK and SOAR platform integration, we need more visibility, training, and certification for the skilled professionals who are working.
Security Consultant at Matiq
 

Setup Cost

Logz.io's pricing receives mixed reviews; it's seen as both expensive and cost-effective, with transparency and flexible features appreciated.
Enterprise buyers find Splunk Enterprise Security costly, but valuable for robust features; flexible licensing and discounts can mitigate costs.
Organizations that start with clear logging standards and retention policies can integrate applications, cloud resources, and Kubernetes workloads early to maximize the observability benefits.

While their pricing is quite good compared to the industry, from my company's perspective, we expect better value.

I find it to be affordable, which is why every industry uses it.

Featured Reviews

Arkajyoti Misra - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Director at Husk Power Systems
AI-driven observability has reduced investigation time and now improves uptime and customer trust
As for improvements needed in Logz.io, I think cost or pricing is always a consideration, especially since I come from a startup and an Indian company, making us look for products that provide better value for money. Compared to the market, their pricing appears decent but might need reevaluation as we scale further to remain competitive. The main concern for me is pricing, as feature-wise, I believe Logz.io is on par with other tools available in the market; however, it is not as widely discussed. Their features align with offerings from Elastic Stack and other prominent tools, including functionalities available from Prometheus or Grafana, providing centralized logging and other capabilities in the UI, so while the product direction is solid, improved pricing would immensely benefit us. I believe we have covered almost everything regarding improvements needed for Logz.io.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
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.
