We performed a comparison between Cisco Sourcefire SNORT and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."
"Cisco technical support is unbeatable. It offers a premium service every time."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility that we have across the virtual environment."
"I like most of Cisco's features, like malware detection and URL filtering."
"It is quite an intelligent product."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT are the dashboard for monitoring events."
"Solid intrusion detection and prevention that scales easily in very large environments."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"It's easily scalable."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"Performance needs improvement."
"The cloud can be improved."
"The implementation could be a bit easier."
"Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience."
"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."
"I don't think this solution is a time-based control system, because one cannot filter traffic based on time."
"The initial setup is a little difficult compared to other products in the market. It depends on the environment. If we are doing any migration, it might take months in a brown-field environment."
"If the price is brought down then everybody will be happy."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
