Dev-friendly security system

What differentiates Splunk Enterprise Security from other similar products?
I get a complete workflow for building, testing, and improving identifications. Along with this, I no longer need to pull complete data into one place. I can achieve this by searching across cloud and on-premises altogether.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I can literally look into what's happening over the stack without digging through the logs one by one. I can also track odd activities by users, IP, or endpoints. It provides not only high-level but also deep-level visibility. I really adore the in-depth audit trails it keeps for every user activity.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I haven’t come across any negative aspect.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For devs like me, this is a very useful platform to detect and respond to security threats by having overall visibility and security intelligence.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features

Incredibly Powerful but difficult to get started
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Splunk Enterprise Security from other similar products?
Splunk is genuinely the best tool for big data analytics. It is not focused on security as some other SIEM solutions, it offers the full stack of analytics. This however comes with a heavy burden on usability, it requires alot of training and investment to be effective.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's power. If properly implemented and maintained it can be best source of information for a company, doing what ever is needed with big data to support many functions in the organisation.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's usability. With the depth of features comes alot to learn. This tool would be very daunting for a junior to try and pick up and run with. It requires much investment to work to it's full capacity
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Consider your budget and how much information you need. If you are an organisation that needs to see and analyze alot of data from many different business streams, including but not limited to, security, then Splunk should be considered as it cannot be beaten if invested in properly.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity

Excellent Product - Very Expensive
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Splunk Enterprise Security from other similar products?
Price - and now that Cisco owns it, it's hard to tell if they will make it better or worse. Their track record is pretty poor, so I'm very concerned. Make Elastic or even the free open source products attractive at this point.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Data presentation/
What do you dislike most about this product?
Cost. While it's an awesome product, it's very expensive.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Wait to see what Cisco plans to do to it before making the investment.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
Cons
- Leverages Incumbent Status
- Vendor Friendly Policies
- Vendor's Interest First
