    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.

    It’s a dedicated Network Advanced Threat Detection and
    Prevention solution. Easy maintenance and low operating costs fit perfectly for
    SMEs. Variety of appliance selection makes NX the perfect choice for large
    enterprises. As it’s a dedicated solution with its own appliance, price is higher
    compared to NGTP add on solutions. FireEye is an ecosystem therefore when you’ve
    the EX or HX vice versa, you should be looking to NX. Otherwise, you’re missing
    the threat intel exchange on the network side reverse is the true. Sizing is
    important before the purchase, if you select a low end model for a busy network
    you lose your initial investment. For multiple NX deployments I highly
    recommend CMS. Without CMS you’ll lose the threat intel exchange and this will
    negatively reduce the risk scores.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • It is very useful in creating custom rules for analyzing system logs and display relevant information. The query language is very easy to learn.
    • We can create custom UI to visualize the output of our data. The interface is very flexible. It also allows the sharing of rules among users.
    • There is an open online community to help others. Stackoverflow also has a splunk community. These resources make it more convenient to learn.

    • Advanced detection of targeted attacks.
    • Mandiant team effort is a big plus.
    • Inline mitigation capabilities particularly well.
    • Different deployment models for specific needs.
    • License and information sharing selection 1 way or 2 way mode.
    • Frequent updates.
    • Low false positive rates.
    • FireEye sandboxing is immune to sandboxing attacks.
    • Central management (CMS) capabilities for managing several NX's.
    • Extra IPS/IDS functionality in the product.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Splunk light limits number of users to 5. Wish there was a flexible license, where one could add more users.
    • Splunk light does not let you add > few realtime alerts. Wish there was a flexible license, where one could add as many realtime alerts as wanted.
    • Better insight into daily ingestion values

    • Very first detected APT sample can pass the NX even it's inline blocking mode.
    • Performance optimization for busy networks is cumbersome.
    • CMS does not provide all the management capabilities, CLI or local config. Should be done for advanced customization.
    • Constant limitations of tcpdump/ packet capture for 10G interfaces.
    • IPS functionality is a bit cumbersome, not a full feature IPS, lack of signatures and customization of IPS signatures.
    • It's not a full NDR solution or a UBA solution.
    • Lack of device or user mapping.
    • Forensics is based on the specific APT. May not provide the whole story and need some additional tools.
    • You cannot make manual submission to NX (needs AX).
    • You cannot access the kernel directly for deep analy[sis] or troubleshooting (assist from FireEye Support should be taken).

    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.

    Usability
    Cisco
    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.

    Online Training

    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.

    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.

    FireEye NX is a solid product. It gives you sustainable
    security throughout the organization. NX detection engines are more capable
    compared to others. Its catch rate is higher, FP rate is lower, [and] speed is
    awesome. NX can work for highly regulated environments with 1 way solution.
    Operation costs are much lower. Software quality is very good. It may have bugs, but these bugs do not compromise the security in general. SOC team loves the
    FireEye NX for its pinpoint detection capabilities. Local and partner support
    is exceptional.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • 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.

    • As [a] financial company on the digital markets, we need to be safeguard for 0days and targeted attacks. FireEye NX provides the best updated protection with its enhanced capabilities.
    • Security score based on detection/prevention metrics [is] very high ensuring the highest level of security.
    • APTs in our region successfully detected and mitigated by the NX.
    • For the ROI, in a six month period FireEye is paying off its [investment].
    • One negative thing, especially with increasing network bandwidths, [is that] you need to make [the] investment every two or three years.
