"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten.

Cons
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue.""Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform.""The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics.""I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk.""Splunk could improve its default machine-learning models. Also, Splunk Enterprise's native threat intelligence isn't that good. I prefer a custom threat intelligence model.""Features related to content management must be improved.""Splunk Enterprise Security could improve in automation, flexibility, and providing more content out of the box.""The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Splunk Enterprise Security Cons →

"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI.""We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version.""I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore.""There should be support for multitenancy in the product.""Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution.""The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure.""Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard.""The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
