SentinelOne vs
Splunk
Splunk: Complicated and Expensive
Splunk’s query-based approach is complex, requiring considerable ramp-up time and certifications to be useful. Moreover, continuous infrastructure scaling, planning, and management make an already expensive platform even more costly.
Splunk
An Open, Flexible Platform
Ingest, normalize, and analyze data from any source within a centralized Data Lake that offers predictable, transparent pricing.
Achieve full end-to-end coverage from detection to response for all your security needs at a fraction of the cost.
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.
The AI-Powered SIEM
Leverage extensive built-in AI detections, automated normalization, data wrangling, and full response and remediation capabilities across the digital estate.
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.
From Hours to Minutes
Purple AI rapidly queries data with natural language, simplifying and accelerating investigation and leading to drastic reduction in MTTR.
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.
Rapid Time to Value
Get secure in hours—not weeks or months—with a lightweight but robust infrastructure, straightforward deployment, and sensible data management.
Cumbersome and Expensive
Deployment and infrastructure management are highly complex and expensive. Many months of integration and setup are needed to get going.
Lightning Fast & No Compromise
Simple, predictable pricing means no sacrifices are made between cost and performance. Your data is always hot.
Simple queries and lightning-fast processing drastically reduces MTTD/MTTR.
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.
Natural Language Queries
Get relevant, actionable, data-driven insights to any question. Even junior analysts with limited query language skills can quickly investigate and take action.
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.
Go Beyond SOAR
Respond at the speed of AI with Hyperautomation. A simple, fast interface enables responses to keep pace with your business.
Legacy SOAR
Outdated processes, disjointed interfaces, and clunky integrations require slow, manual customization and waste valuable time.
