Very powerful, quick, customizable log analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk has been paramount in us gaining information from our log data, it has the ability to very quickly parse and understand the data. Once you parse the log data creating visualizations is easy and they can be grouped into dashboards which is quite convenient.
For us this brings the following business benefits:
- We can quickly and easily see/get alerted of any issues in our running system
- Stakeholders can see the performance and usage of a given system.
- Developers can monitor a system and gain insights which drive optimization.

What do you dislike about the product?
Learning the Splunk query language takes some time. It is powerful and relatively intuitive but there is definitely a learning curve there. In the past, there were a few cases where we had issues with duplicated log data, figuring out why and removing it was quite the effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk have let us answer the following questions:
- How many users are using our system and how active are they?
- Is our live system running into any unexpected issues?
- How performant is our live system, how does that change under load
- What are some problematic/slow calls to our system?
- How can we give stakeholders insight into the platform with minimal friction?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely build dashboards to share with business stakeholders. Try to put a lot of information in your logs and the more easily parseable it is the better. The query language has a learning curve, so having a couple specialists is very helpful.

What do you like best about the product?
We use splunk to log errors, warning and information messages so that we can debug test env and production environment issues. It is fast and easy to use, can make graphs and tables, so handy. Can filter out information based on different attributes making it easier to find the logs that you are most interested in. Makes life easier for a developer cause some things can't be understood until live traffic hits your app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, I like this tool. Somtimes I notice that I get 504 error on the page, or service not available errors, then I have to keep refreshing the page until it starts working again. It will be good if that does not happen, other than that, it can take sometime to retrieve records for a longer period of time, but thats bound to happen, I am sure they optimize the retrieval time as much as possible.
