Splunk for Data Analytics

  • January 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Robust features and adaptability and ease of customization
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a bit of a learning urge for new users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a group that supports and troubleshoots issues for a large number of users, we needed an application that would allow us to view and predict issues that surfaced. We had no way to find root cause within our division. Splunk allowed us to pool data from critical services and analyze it to gain insight on issues and proactively find issues.

Great, but not amazing

  • January 11, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to build dashboards so we can test new notable alerts. The ability to set severity levels. We like the correlation events. Ability to ingest multiple indexes and create correlated searches, as opposed to just using a wildcard search. The dashboard layout is usefull and is very customizable. Integration via ES and other plugins allows us to spend time on one single pane of glass, do a pivot investigation and drill way down into the logs that were ingested. Metadata is easy to find, the logs are parsed neatly and are relatively easy to read once you get used to them. Training is also very good, and readily available online. Certification paths are also available
What do you dislike about the product?
The load on our search heads, some queries take forever. Sometimes we have great difficulty with getting other products to parse logs correctly into splunk. API issues occasionally. The lag in the UI when running a search. The community could use better visibility, a central repository for splunk queries would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting better visualization of threats in our environment via notable alerts. We are building out new automations and use cases for splunk on a weekly basis. Splunk is a primary intake for our analysts and we develop new notable alerts and use cases for our dashboards as well as continually tune and improve the information splunk is telling us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Carefully plan for the storage and processing power required to wield a tool such as this
