The Splunk Enterprise AMI accelerates the speed at which organizations deploy Splunk Enterprise in AWS..
Overview
The Splunk Enterprise AMI accelerates the speed at which organizations deploy Splunk Enterprise in AWS. Splunk Enterprise is the leading platform for Operational Intelligence, delivering an easy, fast, and secure way to search, analyze and visualize the massive streams of machine data generated by your IT systems and technology infrastructure - physical, virtual and in the cloud. Use this AMI to take Splunk for a test drive, or as the basis for your Enterprise-level deployment. The Splunk Enterprise AMI ships with a fully-featured trial license that is valid for 60 days after launch. After the trial expires, your deployment will default to Splunk Free.
Highlights
- Collect and index any machine-generated data from virtually any source or location in real time. Just point Splunk Enterprise at your data, and it immediately starts collecting and indexing--so you can start searching and analyzing.
- With Splunk Enterprise, you can correlate complex events spanning many diverse data sources across your environment. Types of correlations include time-based correlations, transaction-based correlations, sub-searches, lookups, and joins.
- Splunk Enterprise scales to collect and index tens of terabytes of data per day. And because the insights from your data are mission critical, Splunk Enterprise's clustering technology provides the availability you need, even as you scale out your low-cost, distributed computing environment.

Has streamlined data integration and enabled real-time dashboard visualizations through a powerful search engine
Reviewed on Sep 19, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I have implemented the complete Splunk Enterprise Platform structure in my previous organization, implementing the platform, creating use cases, dashboard queries, creating dashboards, and onboarding different devices via Syslog and API.
What is most valuable?
Splunk Enterprise Platform has a vast and versatile powerful search engine with which I can handle all queries, and creating use cases and the search and dashboard is the main selling point, allowing me to visualize live dashboards.
The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR , which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry.
Splunk Enterprise Platform serves as a time-saving solution because integrating other sources such as Syslog or router switch firewall is much easier.
What needs improvement?
The cost is the most significant area for improvement in Splunk Enterprise Platform, as it is quite expensive, causing many clients to differ due to this reason. Otherwise, I don't see that Splunk Enterprise Platform requires further improvement because it is the number one tool.
The cost remains a significant point of concern.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have 2.5 years of experience with Splunk Enterprise Platform.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability depends on how aggressively the environment changes. If I am providing network services, it can be challenging due to continuously changing firewall configurations.
Splunk Enterprise Platform is stable when not integrating or adding new devices continuously.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform a scalable solution since it has different components, and if the server is down, I can upgrade the server resources or create a new node for performance optimization.
How are customer service and support?
I have never used their technical support because everything is available on their website and documents. It is crucial for anyone looking to deploy Splunk Enterprise Platform to first certify for their courses, such as the Splunk Administrator and the Power User Administrator certifications, which address all troubleshooting queries.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Splunk Enterprise Platform depends on the user; if set up in a Windows environment, it is much easier, requiring just clicking on the wizard and following the steps. In the Linux environment, it is quite hectic, but manageable compared to Wazuh , where I have to integrate the GPC API key alongside the installation. In Splunk Enterprise Platform, I only need to download and configure a single file, making it easy to manage.
What other advice do I have?
I have expertise in Splunk Enterprise Platform tools, including Splunk Cloud, having experience working with other tools such as IBM Security QRadar .
We are a managed service provider (MSP), and we provide services using Splunk Enterprise Platform.
Splunk Enterprise Platform holds the number one position in Gartner, and integrating different types of tools and creating use cases is much more streamlined compared to other tools such as IBM QRadar and AD audit, managing the log 360.
The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. It also has Phantom as a SOAR , which is more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry. While working with Wazuh , when I integrated the Cortex XDR , there was a mismatch of events sometimes, making it tedious, but in Splunk Enterprise Platform, I just need to log into the console and everything is there, making it an all-in-one solution.
I rate Splunk Enterprise Platform 9 out of 10.
