What differentiates Splunk Enterprise Security from other similar products?
ES stands out from other competitive products due to its comprehensive and advanced security analytics, threat intelligence, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Its ability to centralize and correlate security data from diverse sources, with customizable dashboards and intuitive workflows, helps us to proactively detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents effectively. Splunk Enterprise Security's scalability, extensibility, and integration options further differentiate it as a leading solution in the market and give a high ROI.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The powerful and flexible correlation and analytics are one of my favorite aspects of Splunk ES. It gives me the freedom to gain deep and more insights into security events and incidents by correlating data from various sources including legacy systems with some API support, detecting patterns, and identifying potential threats in real-time. This feature enables me to proactively respond to security incidents and make data-driven decisions to enhance our organization's overall security posture.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The availability of the right resources who clearly understand and are SMEs on ES would be always a concern. The costs aspects from an SMB standpoint are also a consideration, due to smaller budgets.
