Blumira vs. Splunk User Behavior Analytics

Blumira is great for a small IT team in a small to medium sized environment. It gives you unlimited logging (no limit on the number of logs sent) and doesn't require advanced knowledge or expertise in SIEMs to get the system up and running.

Splunk User Behavior Analytics application is necessary when any company wants to capture the threat based on user behavior instead of just counting the number of occurrences of particular event. With Splunk UBA, we can analyse number of anomalies captured and which in turn creating threats which are nearly true positive.

• The user interface (for managing, reporting) is intuitive and is easy to use
• The setup / onboarding process was very easy
• Support has been wonderful (and personal)

Incentivized

• Monitor and troubleshoot for any system errors.
• Get the insights on application data sets and do some predictive analysis.

• We've had a few suggestions for improving some of the built-in "workflows" -- steps that we are instructed to take by Blumira for specific "findings"
• There are a few improvements about reporting I'd like to see

Incentivized

• Performance-wise, it can be improved. Queries take a long time.
• Dataset exploration - More data visualization charts can be added.

Blumira is "right-sized" for my small organization. It is not a strain on our resources (people, system, or monetary). It gives us exactly what we needed

Easier we were using Splunk Enterprise on heavy forwarder on which all the add-on were installed and were using Splunk Cloud with respect to search head and indexers stack. And with Splunk Enterprise Security premium app, we were relying on correlation rules which were throwing more number of false positive but after implementing Splunk UBA, we are now getting real-time true positive threat or incidents.

Incentivized

• Now when we have a security audit or need to completed a cybersecurity insurance application, we answer "Yes" to the "Do you have a SIEM?" question.
• It has provided awareness and visibility of events and situations on our system that we were completely blind to before.

Incentivized

• Fewer team members to work on real threats.
• Less time required to deal with real incidents.
• Easy to implement across the network.
