"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful.""Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats.""Splunk helps us be more proactive. We can take predictive action to identify and block threats so that nothing harmful gets into the system.""The completeness of the solution is what we like the most.""Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks.""This solution helps us increase our productivity.""We can easily configure things as required in relation to our use cases.""Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."

Cons
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"The solution could use a different licensing model.""Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward.""The product must improve insider threat detection.""I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need.""I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications.""An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times.""The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however.""Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
