Splunk User Behavior Analytics Initial Setup

It's good we are using the firewall and it's very good for Splunk. To implement the system depends in most cases your prerequisites. You have to know what you are building in the environment, how many servers you have, how many other devices, restrictions, and routing. It's a different environment depending on how many applications you have.

So the choices depend on what you need most of the time. We assigned a project manager for technical support for planning. I think it cost us six months to have it running. But it could be very different in other situations.

We help our customers implement this solution for functionality.

The initial setup is complicated since the solution is spread across multiple data centers - on-premises - which makes it more complex than a standard PC setup.

The implementation can take a few days for one person to complete. This is for multiple locations and 400 end users, as well as multiple departments.

It's one of the products that the first-line maintenance engineer is responsible for maintaining.

Splunk was quite easy to set up compared to similar products we've used.  to we are using few other things like this. For example, it was easier to deploy than New Relic. We finished the setup in two or three hours.

The initial setup was straightforward. All that was required was a fundamental understanding of what needed to be installed, the virtual control, the backend database, and how you generate the reports. I would think from those aspects it was pretty straightforward.

The solution doesn't have a complex setup. It's rather straightforward. 

If you are talking of simply spinning off a container, it's very easy.

The complexity should be on the workflow. It's also the most time-consiuming process. For example, how do you handle this incident? It has to be very careful to ensure you don't have false positives that could mistakenly trigger actions. That can to be the most costly mistake. Other than that, a lot of products you can acquire from open source.
