We performed a comparison between Logz.io and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"Native integration with Microsoft security products or other Microsoft software is also crucial. For example, we can integrate Sentinel with Office 365 with one click. Other integrations aren't as easy. Sometimes, we have to do it manually."
"Sentinel also enables you to ingest data from your entire ecosystem and not just from the Microsoft ecosystem. It can receive data from third-party vendors' products such firewalls, network devices, and antivirus solutions. It's not only a Microsoft solution, it's for everything."
"Another area where it is helping us is in creating a single dashboard for our environment. We can collect all the logs into a log analytics workset and run queries on top of it. We get all the results in the dashboard. Even a layman can understand this stuff. The way Microsoft presents it is really incredible."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"The pricing of the product is excellent."
"Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"I like the Splunk dashboard and search engine."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"It could have a better API to be able to automate many things more extensively and get more extensive data and more expensive deployment possibilities. It can gain some points on the automation part and the integration part. The API is very limited, and I would like to see it extended a bit more."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"If we want to use more features, we have to pay more. There are multiple solutions on the cloud itself, but the pricing model package isn't consistent, which is confusing to clients."
"They're giving us the queries so we can plug them right into Sentinel. They need to have a streamlined process for updating them in the tool and knowing when things are updated and knowing when there are new detections available from Microsoft."
"While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"The security can be improved."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
