    Usually SOC leverages Intel from mutiple sources. The scenarios are: 1.Suitable: In large scale SOC where more than 5000 devices are being monitored and the tech stack is wide, Mandiant will play an excellent role in that scenario. 2.Not Suitable: In small scale SOCs wherein limited devices belonging to the same tech stack is being used then the analysts can rely on OSINT and it is not useful to buy the solution.

    Splunk is excellent when all your data is in one location. Its ability to correlate all that data is intuitive (once the hurdle of learning the query language is overcome). It is also easy to standardize the presentation of information to the company. When data is siloed/standalone, other systems can be cheaper and faster to implement.

    • The SPL programming language that the queries are built in is not very intuitive.
    • There should be a better repository of pre-built queries for what I would think of as common Active Directory usage monitoring.
    • I would like to see more free training/familiarization information made available.

    Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence has a very usable platform, with well-differentiated sections for the analyst, as well as the possibility of cross-searching to obtain the desired results. All this is presented with an interface that is easy on the eye and not very messy, which increases productivity and the speed with which work is done.

    Splunk AI Assistant for SPL is good tool, as I said, it is really useful for educational purpose, taking in its hands small and simple tasks (ex:small query dashboard,...), but it's not a ten because the contextual memory for complex issues/dashboarding/reports etc can be limited, and can sometime suggets none optimized query which are not always checked by teammates and can cause issue on the long term.

    Splunk Cloud support is sorely lacking unfortunately. The portal where you submit tickets is not very good and is lacking polish. Tickets are left for days without any updates and when chased it is only sometimes you get a reply back. I get the feeling the support team are very understaffed and have far too much going on. From what I know, Splunk is aware of this and seem to be trying to remedy it.

    Vs elastic: - SPL's statistical functions superior to KQL for complex correlations - Better enterprise support, less operational overhead - Splunk Cloud Platform's detection engineering more mature vs Sentinel: - SPL more powerful than KQL for custom analytics - Better cross-platform visibility (non-Azure environments) vs Datadog - SPL enables deeper forensic Investigations - Superior compliance/audit capabilities
