Switched From: AlienVault OSSIM

Splunk is a great solution for SIEM and also for monitoring your infrastructure
Comments: We needed a way to monitor our internal environment and start to be more proactive with issues, so we started sending all of our logs to Splunk and we we able to get insights we did not know we needed. It is a great solution and they are constantly innovating.
Pros:
Splunk makes it easy to search through various data including logs. In the past I have had to pour through logs in order to find the one lines among the 100 of thousands of lines. Splunk allows me to search through those logs in a matter of seconds vs the hours it used to take.
Cons:
Most of enterprise setup is done through the command line. It would be nice to have cluster configuration (index creation) as part of the UI.
Alternatives Considered: Elastic Stack
Reasons for Switching to Splunk Enterprise: Spelunking was simple to setup and the customer service is great. It performed very well and proved to be a valuable assets to run in Production.
