    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.

    Pros
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • Live traffic monitor: Firewall Analyzer lets us monitor traffic as it flows through the firewalls. It also breaks it down according to what type of traffic (e.g., web, mail, FTP, etc.) it is. It lists the tops hosts, the top users from traffic, and a lot of other useful statistics, all in a very visual format.
    • Security Monitoring: Another good visual graph Firewall Analyzer provides is the security one, which shows us if we're being attacked, from where, by what, how many, etc. It will also send us alerts when there's an alarm of any kind on the firewall.
    • Reporting: We can run all sorts of custom reports, and that helps us both with compliance and informing management as to what's going on. It would be difficult to describe all the various kinds of things we can include in these reports, but they are extensive.

    • This SIEM consolidates multiple data points and offers several features and benefits, creating custom dashboards and managing alert workflows.
    • Splunk Cloud provides a simple way to have a central monitoring and security solution. Though it does not have a huge learning curve, you should spend some time learning the basics.
    • Splunk Cloud enables me to create and schedule statistical reports on network use for Management.

    • 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.

    Usability
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    It is fast to
    download the test software and implement. It takes some sometime to understand the
    ways you have to on board your firewalls into it. It is nice to buy and just
    activate the product that you have already installed. Maybe some wizards could
    be improved in order to accelerate these tasks.

    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.

    ManageEngine was chosen over the use of AlgoSec as it slotted nicely with other Manage engine services we use for services such as active directory management. Other benefits include how lightweight and easy to install and set up it is. You can install it inside your network and start testing within 20 minutes.

    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

    Return on Investment
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • Firewall Analyzer has definitely freed up a lot of IT's time, by congregating logs and displaying them in a more useful, visual way.
    • The cost for licenses and proactive alerting, compared to the man-hours spent reactively through data, paid for itself in a few months.
    • There was no negative impact to users, and only some to IT staff who had to train on the software, which mostly consisted of videos and playing around with the software.
