"Splunk: IT legos for Beginners through Master Builders!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise Security?

Splunk is so flexible that I have not yet been unable to build any of the crazy ideas that my clients have dreamed up. It really is the Swiss Army knife of Big Data. I am really only limited by my own creativity (or lack thereof). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise Security?

I do not think that Splunk Cloud is a solution that is a good fit for most users. From forced upgrades to severe admin and CLI restrictions, I feel like I am too handcuffed to be as productive and flexible as I need to be. Therefore, we spin up our own cloud infrastructure when clients need to be off-premises or turnkey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Splunk Enterprise Security:

Get PS or a good consultant (like Splunxter: http://www.Splunxter.com) to ensure a successful deployment and use-case coverage. If you are not getting 5X value over what you paid, you are not doing it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Everything seems to be going security lately. We do get a good bit of DevOps and BI and a tiny bit of IoT but Splunk is really outpacing the competition in security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
