Splunk Enterprise Security

- Splunk publishes no rate for Enterprise Security and directs buyers to contact a pricing expert
- UEBA, SOAR and automated threat analysis require the Premier edition rather than Essentials
- The platform underneath can be billed by ingest volume, workload or activity, so the total cost depends on a pricing model chosen at contract time rather than a list price
TIBCO Mashery
- Lack of support for open API standards requires workarounds
- Policy management is difficult and sometimes requires support intervention for configuration changes
- Monetization and customization features are inadequate for some enterprise use cases
- Delays under heavy load conditions; stability issues reported affecting performance
- Logging and monitoring limitations; logs are hard to follow when calls cannot be filtered by keys
