ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer vs. Splunk User Behavior Analytics

Identifying network traffic anomalies. Identifying applications, devices, or users that are utilizing high bandwidth. Capacity planning for network links and internet circuits. Detecting potential security threats or breaches. Network performance and troubleshooting. Reporting network utilization.

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.

• Analyze network traffic by breaking it down into conversations with the ability to look at ingress and egress traffic.
• Gives a quick view of overall performance.

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

• Check Network
• Check Flows
• Traffic

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

Easy to implement, it does not require much hardware for installation, it is very accurate in the process of discovering and analyzing network packets and traffic consumption, as well as its graphs and best practices to implement. On the other hand, we can keep track of network devices and identify security vulnerabilities.

The support is always on point, fast, reliable, and their employees go above and beyond to help when we need it. I have yet to call them on any product we use and not get the issue resolved in a fast and timely manner. Also, they are also very pleasant while on the phone and/or in teh email chain. Overall I just couldn't ask for better.

Each of these solutions does what they aim to do. Based off of cost and need, ManageEngine fit better with our organization. We already use multiple ManageEngine products so bundling was a no brainer.

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

• Lot of positive impacts
• Low Budget
• Great results

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