"The initial setup isn't overly complex.""Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate.""The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts.""It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis.""The ability to quickly search logs, performance data, and other inputs has helped tremendously with troubleshooting.""The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization.""The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data.""The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."

Cons
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.""No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

More Mezmo Cons →

"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance.""I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool.""More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results.""Splunk ES could have more pre-built integrations and rules. The detection is fairly accurate, but it depends on the rules you create. Splunk's out-of-the-box configuration isn't that useful.""It's costly.""I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier.""This is not really a monitoring solution.""The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
