SentinelOne vs
Splunk

Not Designed for Security

Splunk is a pure data platform that lacks native security capabilities.

A complicated migration and setup with a steep learning curve and unpredictable costs make it hard to maximize value.

What’s more, future innovation and investment remain unclear following the organization’s acquisition by Cisco.

Configuration Required

Extensive upskilling, configuration and customization, and ongoing management are required to make the platform more like a security solution than a legacy SIEM.

Complex, Manual Analysis & Time Outs

Making full use of data requires intensive training and upskilling. A slow, complex, and tedious querying process, with workarounds such as summary indexing, is prone to error and failure increases time to response.

Cumbersome and Expensive

Deployment and infrastructure management are highly complex and expensive. Many months of integration and setup are needed to get going.

Unpredictable and Complex

Splunk handles vast volumes of data but adds complexity and cost when the same result can be achieved for significantly less burden.

Entire teams are needed just to tune the environment, let alone analyze and respond.

Complex, Slow Queries

Years of expensive proprietary query language training are required to wrangle data and surface insights. Lengthy query execution often results in error and time-outs and the common issue of skipped searches leads to detection gaps.

Legacy SOAR

Outdated processes, disjointed interfaces, and clunky integrations require slow, manual customization and waste valuable time.
