AgileBlue's SecOps platform autonomously detects, investigates, and responds to cyber threats across endpoints, cloud, and network. AgileBlue is offered for the mid market, and for these companies is designed to deliver all-in-one protection, integration, and a partnership so organizations can move from reactive defense to proactive resilience.

Splunk is software for searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine-generated big data, via a web-style interface. It captures, indexes and correlates real-time data in a searchable repository from which it can generate graphs, reports, alerts, dashboards and visualizations.
In my opinion, AgileBlue excels for small teams with a breadth of platforms and responsibilities under their umbrella. If ones organization has independent security, network, patch, etc. departments, AgileBlue may feel redundant.
I'm liking the newer products, and I'm looking forward to how they integrate with the overall product when they come together. Just log in and be able to query a large number of systems for similar issues or a unique one. That is a great fit for Splunk Enterprise, looking for a simple case or a simple String or something of that nature across multiple machines. It's a great fit for that to identify issues or particular software, whatever your scenario is, String, to find it across any particular server or group of servers, so that you can update or do a deployment or whatever it is you're looking to do.
They are extremely quick identifying any potentially unusual activity
They make it easy for us to ensure that our employees can log in from other countries without triggering suspicious activity lock-outs when they travel.
Our quarterly meet-ups are a great way to keep my team up to date in the current cloud security scene, as well as to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep our users safe.
We are using Splunk extensively in our projects and we have recently upgraded to Splunk version 6.0 which is quite efficient and giving expected results. We keep track of updates and new features Splunk introduces periodically and try to introduce those features in our day to day activities for improvement in our reporting system and other tasks.
I give it a 9 because it has so much more information than other tools we've used in the past. That is great, but it can get a little overwhelming when trying to narrow down exactly what you need to see. I will say, though, the information has gotten a lot easier to digest with the rollout of their new AI features.
You can literally throw in a single word into Splunk and it will pull back all instances of that word across all of your logs for the time span you select (provided you have permission to see that data). We have several users who have taken a few of the free courses from Splunk that are able to pull data out of it everyday with little help at all.
Splunk maintains a well resourced support system that has been consistent since we purchased the product. They help out in a timely manner and provide expert level information as needed. We typically open cases online and communicate when possible via e-mail and are able to resolve most issues with that method.
The online course was simple clear and described the main capabilities of the solution. There is also an initial module that can be done for free so anyone can familiarize themselves with the functionality of this solution. On the other hand, however, there could be more free online courses. Maybe even with a certificate, this would broaden the group of people who are familiar with the platform while increasing familiarity with the solution itself.
AgileBlue integrates as a partner to SentinelOne - allowing out MSSP to have insights into both platforms. Using AgileBlue as an escalation management tool allows false positive results to get handled quickly, low severity alerts to be dealt with before escalations, and high severity alerts to get forwarded to the appropriate members of higher-level triage teams
A lot of products have natively inside their own dashboards and or their own logging repositories. And each one is difficult to learn or they're too complex or they're not verbose in the sense that they're not easy to mine the data that you're looking for. So that could be anything from the native logging that you find in other Cisco products. It's easier to use Splunk to draw the data that you're looking for as opposed to going to the individual's products themselves to get the logs that you're looking for.
Having AgileBlue as our cyber security watchdogs gives that peace of mind knowing that they are on the cutting edge of cyber security and are real pros.
Splunk has allowed developers to diagnose production issues when access of control was taken away from them to be allowed to view items in production environments and I believe that is invaluable.
At times some developers weren't super happy about using it, but it was more of the fact that they were used to having production access and not creating their splunk queries to get information.
Going one place to view logs was very beneficial to have.
