Best log search tool
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk makes it easier to search through various data including logs. I was used to fetch the details through logs in order to find the one lines among the 100 of thousands of lines. Now it become as easy as ABC also the infrastructure monitoring is cool. We have integrated this with Slack to get the alerts real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has its own SPL, if they enable SQL too so that it will be heaven for the tech guys.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Timely alerts and quick log search
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A good tool which will make your life easier
A Remarkable logging & analytics application for auditing and troubleshooting
What do you like best about the product?
The easy integration. just include Splunk libraries in your code, use the methods/functions to log and you are good. Dash-boarding is easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have the capability to take action on thresholds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for troubleshooting and auditing. We get a vast searchable and summarizable log data that can be used for many things.
Great application even for frontend engineers
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use XML to create and style your own dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
To get the most out of the app a lot of people with different skill sets need to be involved and with the same goal in mind, for example, the observability engineers are the ones in charge of the maintenance and setup of the Splunk platform and data, while the backend engineers are the ones that implement the logs caught by Splunk. The frontend engineers need to look into the available logs and see what information from there is useful to create a dashboard that can be used for ourselves or for the product owners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Measuring the adoption rate of new modules and features. Is very easy to see where our customers are finding more value from our products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software that is useful for the entire engineering department. Is important that to extract the most value from this investment you must make a conscious effort to align and train employees with different skillsets to be able to get the most out of the dashboards, visualizations, data discovery, and alerts. Well used this can bring insights of your product from different perspectives, not only for data analytics but also for use cases such as measuring the feature adoption rate, this can help you tweak your UI to make sure you focus your engineering workforce on the modules and functionality that bring the most value to the users of your app.
Splunk Enterprise for IT Industries
What do you like best about the product?
This is a needed application for the IT organization to manage their infrastructure which consist of physical computer devices, web servers (cloud), sensors, etc. Manage means, centralized monitoring and analyzing. In the past we used Splunk for only log monitoring and log analyzing (syslog server). But, what we are seeing is more advance and it is with the SIEM capabilities. It now have real-time visibility, advanced dashboards, analyze any kind of data, advance filtering, flexible GUI in configuration & maintenance, and AI & Machine Learning for threat prediction.
Finally, it is very user friendly. We can modify the dashboard, log search queries, filters, alert/alarm rule, threat filters, and configure with multiple devices easier and quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
It has multiple features and when we are trying to use all of them it is slow in displaying the contents (logs) and the connectivity also taking some amount of time for the initial loading.
Cost is another, as a organization we have to spend more cost on buying the license and configuration.
Without experience (new to splunk), it is hard to understand all within a short time if the architecture is complex. It consume log implementation time.

Best monitoring solution
What do you like best about the product?
We like the splunk dashboard and quick searching of logs. Faster indexing and searching of logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is dated and needs to be refreshed with new features for dashboard etc.

Monitoring and analyzing logs
Best tool to analyze logs and monitor
What do you like best about the product?
It is the best tool to analyze the logs based on different charts and visual graphs. It has good plugins to help with security and auditing. I have created multiple dashboard and customized alerts to monitor system health. It has great integrations with slack and emails to trigger alerts and notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
As we have big infrastructure and a lot of logs gets consumed in splunk on daily basis, the user interface becomes slow for query search results. Splunk query builder needs technical knowledge beforehand otherwise understanding error message for a non technical person is a challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have limited access for development teams in production environment so we use splunk for teams to monitor their application health and status. There are multiple reports/dashboards generated over application logs in splunk that alerts teams over failures and issues. Splunk is also used as a security tool to detect firewall breaches and vulnerable access controls.
Splunk is great for viewing network traffic logs
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is very robust with being able to search network traffic, create dashboards and automate reports and alerts. It allows users and admins to solve many problems. Our company has created several alerts for when people on the network download any files that look like they could be a virus, or if they are using illegal software, or trying to login with wrong passwords constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a large learning curve to being able to use Splunk and be able to understand what the data you're looking at filter through it all to find what you need. It's very good if you know what you're doing, which there is documentation for, but if you don't have lots of networking experience and knowledge it's easy to be lost and overwhelmed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor all of our network's traffic with Splunk. It gives us metrics on what our University's population is using the network for and helps alert us if there are issues. It's a useful tool when troubleshooting login and connection issues. It also helps with identifying security issues. These security problems are able to be visualized as a report or dashboard for managers, even non-technical ones, to quickly get understandable information from.
Splunk use cases in Enterprise Private Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
The scalability and ease of deployment. it supports almost all hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few bugs in integration environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it for telemetry purpose and to set up on prem and public cloud component monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very good platform for open solutions.
Helped identify transaction dollar amount issues
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed that Splunk had all details for transactions; i.e. time, date, processor, exp date, PII, how & where the transaction was processed, device ID, etc. It also shows the initially authorized dollar amount of the transaction and if it was captured for a different amount.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk can be very complicated to navigate and use for identifying a particular transaction. I often had to ask someone for assistance when attempting to search for something in particular or to understand fully what I was reading. There's definitely an overload of data and you can get lost looking for one or a few transactions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved & benefits for fraud; A client had transaction issues where we were unable to determine the true amount of each transaction. Using Splunk allowed me to see how much the transaction was for and thus verify each transaction. If fraud occurred, I'd also be able to verify PII through Splunk & what was entered or retained at the time of the transaction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A plethora of information, complicated to navigate, many different search options. Must know the most efficient way to navigate and narrow down search results.
