Splunk - the most flexible SIEM tool on the market.
- Splunk provided immediate results when an Active Directory change was made and our Windows AD team was unable to determine when or who had made the change. We were also able to provide information back to our CIRT for multiple security incidents and correlate what some thought was a DOS attack back to a massive scheduled data download occurring off hours.
- Because of Splunk's role in our PCI-DSS compliance requirements, the compliance office is expanding Splunk's role into SOX compliance as well. We're also being asked by multiple departments to be their official system of record for their system logs.
- Unfortunately, the decision to virtualize our environment means we're tied to some expensive storage solutions. We are currently facing difficult decisions with regards to data retention due to the cost.
- According to our database team, showcasing Splunk's capabilities saved their department $75,000 (USD) when they were able to meet their monitoring needs without buying an additional tool. Our mainframe team is doing a proof of concept with a tool called IronStream that integrates directly with Splunk to provide mainframe monitoring, essentially the only tool in existence to do so. Splunk is also replacing both some end-of-life SCOM tools as well as the soon-to-be EOL Symantec SIEM.

Review of Splunk
- We were able to detect bugs in our cloud services using Ssplunk even before they went to clients production environments . Without Splunk they would have been hard to catch. Considering the very high amounts of money the companies spent on fixing the defect after it is found at clients productions environment , Splunk saves lot of money by detecting these bugs much earlier in development process .

Splunk, the sexy, sporty car that I can't afford.
- Tried splunk with free license and it was not enough to load all our data.
- Picking a subset of data that due to license restrictions does not make sense.
