Pros

More Mezmo Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs.""It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market.""Good for log collection and log management.""The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is the comprehensive logging capabilities it provides.""The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me.""This solution helps us increase our productivity.""This is a straightforward solution, easy to configure."

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 →

"Professional support is great, but too expensive.""The threat detection system has room for improvement.""Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better.""The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have.""It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw.""The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments.""An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial.""Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
