Splunk Review
What do you like best about the product?
The alerting system is best part of this. By using Transaction flow analysis we can identify where exactly the issue is. Building query is simple and easy. We have been using Splunk for 3 years now and it has always been a great tool use to analyze the data patterns and alert us on all performance related issues and pattern matching.
What do you dislike about the product?
We run query for long time frame splunk performance will be effected. Ideally it creates one ticket for one type of exception but some times it creates more than one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Support analyst we use this for viewing logs and analyzing transaction logs. We use the logs for root cause analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool of Monitoring logs and tickets will be logged automatically
Very good for basic data querying, but not so easy for complex querying
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk very nicely provides query/search access to huge volumes of data (for example log-file data). If you're interested in finding specific occurrences of something/anything within your data, Splunk is a nice tool to have. For basic querying, it cannot be beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you need to find an "area" within your huge volume of data (for example, either what happened immediately before or after a specific occurrence) then you end up fighting with Splunk to let you see that "area". Personally, I've ended up having to write extremely complex regular expressions within Splunk just to be able to see these "areas", and they work, but it needs to be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Splunk to diagnose problems within a web-application by querying the application log file data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For simple querying it's very easy to pickup and use, but for complex querying, you'll need a strong background in regular expressions.
Great Logging for Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Offers great predefined applications and visualised dashboards to dispaly and make sense of the logs. These make it very easy to see the wood for the trees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the best applications and dashboards can bee quite expensive although there are kes comprehensive free versions available
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralised logging for complaince through distributed nodes.
Also ulilising the logging for internal preformance monitoring on our own applications
Also ulilising the logging for internal preformance monitoring on our own applications
Easy and Quick
What do you like best about the product?
The colors and menu items are very intuitive. It may not be a big thing but it is easy on the eyes
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks support for agile cycles. If a planning mechanism is included like Jira, it would be a good improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling large amounts of data and alerts.
The clear leader in centralized log management and monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup, upgrade, manage, and configure to meet your needs. The universal forwarder makes this easier than any other solution out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price can be of a concern. If you have a large influx of traffic being logged, you could easily go over your license limit and have a violation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better detection of errors in application logs
Great log analysis plus alert and reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The visualization graph features as well as the alert and notifications
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to learn the syntax for log search. Should have made it a little easier for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some notification report emails generated out of so to notify is of any serious error in loga. We are also using it to generate server usage graphs like CPU utilization and memory pages etc.
Splunk Advantages
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk will publish the data by connecting to any different source systems and shown in the dashboard with all the trend.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depends upon the Application logs and sys logs rather than having its own data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking the transactions and it could help business in terms of publishing the transaction trend and also in triageing the issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very good tool to capture the logs form different sources and publish the statistics to business
Splunk review
What do you like best about the product?
Helps finding the events quick from server logs. This avoids us from logging into multiple servers separately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Except being proprietory the product is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating the logs from multiple servers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
May be think of providing license at free of cost and charge for support. Since industry prefers to go for more open source products to reduce cost. You guys might have analyzed all these, just a thought from side.
