Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks.""It's easily scalable.""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.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled.""This is a good security product.""It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."

"Weka's best features are its user-friendly graphic interface interpretation of data sets and the ease of analyzing data.""Working with complicated algorithms in huge datasets is really easy in Weka.""The path of machine learning in classification and clustering is useful. The GUI can get you results. No programming is needed. No need to write down your script first or send to your model or input your data.""I mainly use this solution for the regression tree, and for its association rules. I run these two methodologies for Weka.""Weka eliminates the need for coding, allowing you to easily set parameters and complete the majority of the machine learning task with just a few clicks.""The interface is very good, and the algorithms are the very best.""With clustering, if it's a yes, it's a yes, if it's a no, it's a no. It gives you a 100% level of accuracy of a model that has been trained, and that is in most cases, usually misleading. Classification is highly valuable when done as opposed to clustering.""I like the machine algorithm for clustering systems. Weka has larger capabilities. There are multiple algorithms that can be used for clustering. It depends upon the user requirements. For clustering, I've used DBSCAN, whereas for supervised learning, I've used AVM and RFT."

Cons
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""The price of Splunk UBA is too high.""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.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions.""We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."

More Splunk User Behavior Analytics Cons →

"Weka is a little complicated and not necessarily suited for users who aren't skilled and experienced in data science.""If there are a lot more lines of code, then we should use another language.""While it might offer insights for basic warehouse tasks, it falls short of deeper understanding and results.""If you have one missing value in your dataset and this missing value belongs to a specific attribute and the attribute is a numeric attribute and there is only one missing data, whenever you import this data, the problem is that Weka cannot understand that this is a numeric field. It converts everything into a string, and there is no way to convert the string into numerical math. It's really very complicated.""A few people said it became slow after a while.""The product is good, but I would like it to work with big data. I know it has a Spark integration they could use to do analysis in clusters, but it's not so clear how to use it.""In terms of scalability, I think Weka is not prepared to handle a large number of users.""Not particularly user friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
  • "I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."

  • "Currently, I am using an open-source version so I don't know much about the price of this solution."
  • "The solution is free and open-source."
  • "As far as I know, Weka is a freeware tool, and I am not aware if they have an online solution or if it is a commercial product."
  • "We use the free version now. My faculty is very small."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: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… more »
    Top Answer:I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive. A rough estimate would be around 150 gigabytes, given the huge amount of data. At the moment there are no additional costs for maintenance.
    Top Answer:Currently, we do not have any specific improvement projects in progress. However, we have partnered with some companies that are constantly working on improving the system. Therefore, I believe it's… more »
    Top Answer:Weka is free and open-source software. That is why I used it over KNIME.
    Top Answer:I haven't found it particularly useful. It lacks state-of-the-art algorithms and impressive outcomes. While it might offer insights for basic warehouse tasks, it falls short of deeper understanding… more »

    Overview

    Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a behavior-based threat detection is based on machine learning methodologies that require no signatures or human analysis, enabling multi-entity behavior profiling and peer group analytics for users, devices, service accounts and applications. It detects insider threats and external attacks using out-of-the-box purpose-built that helps organizations find known, unknown and hidden threats, but extensible unsupervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, provides context around the threat via ML driven anomaly correlation and visual mapping of stitched anomalies over various phases of the attack lifecycle (Kill-Chain View). It uses a data science driven approach that produces actionable results with risk ratings and supporting evidence that increases SOC efficiency and supports bi-directional integration with Splunk Enterprise for data ingestion and correlation and with Splunk Enterprise Security for incident scoping, workflow management and automated response. The result is automated, accurate threat and anomaly detection.

    Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code. Weka contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. It is also well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes.
