SPLUNK - Security Analyst Review

  • December 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SPLUNK - I have been using this tool for quite a long time now, and it has been excellent. My current organization uses it for security logs analysis in which I feel is the best tool that anyone can use with all the quality segregated data that it provides and the in-depth log analysis. One can make a dashboard that can be easier to understand data. Can create automated alerts and reports based on the logs received. It helps in lots of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take a toll on the host machine on which it is running, so beware of the type of host you are using.
Familiarity with XML is necessary to create some great dashboard reports for clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Security analysis based on the logs
2. Alerts for unwanted events
3. Having logs from all the sources in one place.
4. An easier understanding of logs that are not readable to normal humans.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it if you are looking for a SIEM tool.

Best Customisable Raw Data Capture Software

  • December 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
So simple for Splunk to capture all the data that runs on an enterprise's applications. Splunk acts as the repository to take this data and then gives us the opportunity to 'slice and dice the data' as we wish to generate reports, improve analysis, get a better handle on our business, improve productivity, improve business/market intelligence, react more quickly to trends, take decisions more proactively etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing at all. Splunk is a collusus, which we are learning more about all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have for the first time been able to search and analyse all our data in one place. We can monitor this data as well. It has allowed us to generate dashboards with alerts and events that are tailor-made for our organisation. We've been able to take action on long-standing issues.

Providing metrics has also improved through business reports, graphs etc. for senior management.

The power of Splunk and its versatility has also allowed us to detect data patterns,

Cutting edge but minor issues

  • December 14, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is a truly self-service platform for ingesting many disparate data sources and performs very well in benchmark tests against its competitors. The ui is high quality and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain functionalities that don't come out of the box and require additional licensing if you truly want to get the best use of the tool. This process could be more transparent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marrying lots of different data and making sure everything is still performant. We have saved hundreds of hours and data accuracy is also a significant bonus factor

Splunk is the mother ship for all the monitoring system in the landscape

  • November 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SPL is the easiest language we have ever seen. Data processing is very fast to create all the glass table dashboards. Splunk machine language toolkit and ITSI brings a lot of value to the landscape for the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The navigation menu is not designed to customize as per the organization. There is no option found to change the look and feel of the application as per the organization's internal standardization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk brought every system and business-related issue in front of our eyes. This is one-stop shop for the organization to monitor systems, issues at the process, and root cause analysis when there is a failure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best too for the SRE's in the organization. This system becomes the brain for the stabilization of the processes and all the systems in the landscape.

Best Money We've Ever Spent

  • October 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use Splunk to track transactions that flow through a dozen different service-based systems. Splunk allows us to follow the flow of these transactions and see the "trail" they follow as they pass through the various systems. Being able to aggregate and cross-reference data from all of our systems has been invaluable while troubleshooting problems in our systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having cost based on the size of the index of data is the only thing that I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk allows us to track transactions through our systems that would be almost impossible to do without it. The effort required to do these tasks by hand would make it completely unreasonable to attain.

Splunk - Key of searching, monitoring

  • September 08, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is best tool to search, monitor the system generated data. It actually visualise the data generated every moments. It helps us to monitor the data just by seeing logs in proper categorised manner.
The best part I like about Splunk is, it is best searching tool. In my current project, we use splunk the analyse the daily logs with different categories according to the requirements.
It helps us in troubleshooting the issue which requires data to analyse in quick and simplified way.
I mainly use this tool as log analysis and as expected it helps me very much to troubleshoot the issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my current organization, as per the configuration we have, I am not able to find the error logs requested on reverse proxy servers.
Here in the project, we are having more than 300 servers and all the monitored and analysed by splunk only but few days ago, while troubleshooting session, I was not able to get the error logs observed on reverse proxy we have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the wrote above, while troubleshooting session I was not able to find the error log files through splunk tool. So to get such data, I had to go to server by logging through putty(we have better options as well) and the get the logs under the configured path.
We troubleshooted in this way.
Apart of this, there are various and easy way to get the data from splunk. It visualise every data coming from. It actually helps in tracing thr request getting generated every moment.
