Performance of Splunk Enterprise Security Across Market Features
Splunk Enterprise Security Likes & Dislikes
Highly scalable architecture built to handle very large volumes of structured/un-structured data without major performance issues. Powerful and intuitive SPL uses schema on read approach and can extract and analyze the relevant fields from various types of data including logs/flows from log sources such as Servers/End-points, Network devices, Applications and DBs etc to gain near realtime insights. Intuitiveness contributes to complex troubleshooting and investigations with minimal effort. Generating queries through natural language for detection of anomalies using Integrated ML and Agentic AI (including Splunk AI) reduces the overhead significantly. Key strengths include reduction in alert fatigue, proactive threat hunting, improved MTTD/MTTR, streamlined incident management, compliance reporting, centralised dashboards for various interested parties.
easy integration with the exiting Splunk
Two areas that ring out for me are how customizable Splunk can be and the community. The platform allows us to tailor security operations to our specific needs, from custom correlation searches to specialized applications that address unique use cases. This adaptability ensures that the platform evolves with our requirements rather than constraining us to a rigid solution. Equally valuable is Splunk's user community. This broad base creates a rich environment for knowledge sharing, providing valuable insights and solutions for complex challenges.
Very expensive, resource intensive platform and complex volume based licensing. Continuously growing costs and efforts. Training SPL is time consuming impacting the budget, ROI and early adoption.
Complex ROI is very difficult, competitors have better products
Over the time of the Cisco merger, services and technical growth has waned. This year however we are starting to see some traction. The product is still pricey and can be very cloud centric. vCPU pricing is not clear. Also data ingest can be quite rigid however with Edge Processing this may ease that rigidness. Many opportunities, just hope that Cisco can execute effectively in a timely manner.
