Splunk ES product that monitors real-time data generated from network endpoints, access, malware and vulnerabilities and generate alerts by analyzing and correlating them with defined and built-in rules.

Recommendations to others considering Splunk Enterprise Security:

before splunk we collected lots log but we never had time to analyze them and later we found that we have missed important security alerts. Now with splunk , we never miss any security alerts and we can stop before any damage happens. So we recommend all enterprises to setup Splunk and know your network activities and control before they make you devastated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Splunk Enterprise Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having lots of devices and servers introduced to the network, generate lots of logs and not enough man power and time anlyze them. This became unmanageable and security events went unnoticed. Then we learned about Splunk SIEM and tested before buying. This can collects all events logs into one engine and analyze and alert us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how diverse this software is. It's easy to create simple dashboards and searches or you can create very complicated searches and filter through specific data. Dashboards can be created so that other members of the team that aren't so technical can easily look at the visuals and see what is going on. We use it in security for a bunch of different areas of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
