My experience with splunk

  • March 30, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is quite fast, programmable with python easy to use. It takes only 40 50 min to draw really complicated graphs with it
What do you dislike about the product?
IT is quite expensive comparing with elk stack and their business model is really weak. The second most important think is that they do not have data tables to represent information filter by fields etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are trying to collect all logs and alert teams with them depending on the rule we wrote.

Really good for identifying the production issues

  • March 28, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Every time when we have production issues, the 1st thing is to open the splunk and check the error messages.
The other feature is also nice: keep tracking the production environment health status periodically. We did find some potential issues which our client did not report and fix them before our clients finding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way of displaying the error log sometimes take time to scroll it when opening the item.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checking the production health status.
Quickly identifing the errors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Quickly identifing the errors, periodically checking the production health status and performance. It works really well

Splunk is the de facto leader

What do you like best about the product?
* search bar and query language
* integrations / add ons
* source code access to splunk enterprise
* source code access to any splunk app
What do you dislike about the product?
* no real good support or process for app development and publishing
* app development is kind of weird and difficult
* really hard to debug configs and/or searches
* splunk doesn't have a solid identity anymore
* overly sales-heavy organisation; hard to find someone to actually help you
* documentation is written in a vacuum mostly, especially in respect to how to run / size it
* big learning curve for users slows adoption
* crap 2FA / SAML / enterprise auth support
* no publicly visible bug or feature request database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* great flexibility in investigations
* decent return on investment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
come with an open mind, and open pockets

HTTP by default; and no real sizing guidance

  • November 10, 2015
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

i'm an AWS newbie in terms of using AMIs and so on. was first and foremost pretty surprised to see the image using HTTP by default.

also the sizing info for AWS specifically both seem quite dated and "unofficial" as in only in blog form or a one-off PDF versus a proper doc page... so you're left researching and calculating (and guessing) too much on the upside before actually diving in and using the instance.

http://blogs.splunk.com/2012/03/07/splunk-and-aws-sizing-revisited/
http://www.splunk.com/web_assets/pdfs/secure/Splunk_and_Amazon_Web_Services_Tech_Brief.pdf

things like extra storage, clustering, and archiving are really not touched on in any detail in the docs, so we don't use this AMI at all for much more than small tests.

best info we can find beyond that is around cloud formation stack builds, which is a good step in the right direction, but again doesn't seem super authoritative:

Simple, basic Splunk install in a few clicks

A Splunk deployment in seconds!

It would be nice to have the latest version of Splunk installed on the AMI.

Just three commands

As far as I see this ami is just the amazon AMI but with splunk downloaded and installed and a permissive security group.

In addition Splunk blundled is outdated and there are constrains to the instance size, for example there's no m3.large to choose.
