"Adaptive Response Feature"
5/5
What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise Security?

Enterprise Security Adaptive Response feature is very good where you can directly take action from the one console. Previously, Splunk is used for monitoring only and now it is used as a post mechanism also. For example, If some malicious event comes from the endpoint and you want to isolate that endpoint. You can create a new action and use that to isolate endpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise Security?

Splunk Enterprise is an add-on on Splunk so it is not isolated from other addon. We might face some security issue if other addons are conflicting with ES. It should come as a product incorporated on top of Splunk. I disliked the slowness of the App when it is installed on the lower configuration VM and it is very heavily built addon with so many javascript and python scripts.
