Splunk - Key of searching, monitoring

  • September 08, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is best tool to search, monitor the system generated data. It actually visualise the data generated every moments. It helps us to monitor the data just by seeing logs in proper categorised manner.
The best part I like about Splunk is, it is best searching tool. In my current project, we use splunk the analyse the daily logs with different categories according to the requirements.
It helps us in troubleshooting the issue which requires data to analyse in quick and simplified way.
I mainly use this tool as log analysis and as expected it helps me very much to troubleshoot the issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my current organization, as per the configuration we have, I am not able to find the error logs requested on reverse proxy servers.
Here in the project, we are having more than 300 servers and all the monitored and analysed by splunk only but few days ago, while troubleshooting session, I was not able to get the error logs observed on reverse proxy we have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the wrote above, while troubleshooting session I was not able to find the error log files through splunk tool. So to get such data, I had to go to server by logging through putty(we have better options as well) and the get the logs under the configured path.
We troubleshooted in this way.
Apart of this, there are various and easy way to get the data from splunk. It visualise every data coming from. It actually helps in tracing thr request getting generated every moment.

A powerful Logs aggregation and monitoring tool

  • July 22, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Splunk is also one of its key features, which is logs aggregation. You can easily aggregate your logs from multiple environments ( PROD/TEST/QA ) and find them all in one place. Also, the availability of your files in the cloud makes it even more promising due to ease of access. The ability to create custom dashboards for monitoring purposes is also a very useful feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, you get random errors while performing a key-value search, but that is not a show stopper. They may happen due to network or proxy errors and do not occur very frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Splunk Enterprise solution, we usually aggregate all our application logs in one place and also monitor different APIs using custom-created dashboards.

Log Analysis and Business Performance

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use Splunk to screen our framework including DHCP, DNS and organization-wide occasions. Quite possibly the main thing for us on schedule to utilize this instrument is the opportunity to screen the whole framework searching for logs and occasions in the applications or the infra. Additionally, In Splunk, we make our say to day occasions reports and pre-characterized order to synopsis and examination information. An incredible component is that you can make a config on Splunk notice rule to send quickly aware of all the group when a basic occasion shows up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cloud adoption and cloud enhancement need innovation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Performance and Log analystics

The logs are really insightful to unearth problems in the code.

  • May 08, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The logs can be categorised based on the attributes for fine-tuning the issue encountered. The logs can also be filtered based on the timeframe, not only within the same day but across a wide variety of dates within 30 days.
What do you dislike about the product?
As it loads data from the logs in real-time, the application becomes really slow. As the data is being linked directly fro the database and the local caching is not possible for this enormous amount of data, the user sometimes gets very confused whether the data is being fetched or the API failed, if a timely intimation or loader is placed in the front then it would have been really insightful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any issues reported from the UI team, we resort to the logs via Splunk as the single source of truth. Whenever any bugs are reported, before diving into the code, which is written by someone may years back, it is really easy, helpful and quick to check the logs for diving in the issue and most of the time, a pattern is identified and it helps in finding the root cause from the code very easily and as a result, the resolution also comes out to be very fool-proof and sturdy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful and user friendly for debugging issues through the logs. I will recommend this to adopt for enterprises who want to make their developers' life easy and any non-coding person can also dive in and find the primary root cause before going for a fix.

Enterprise-level SIEM and logging visualization tool. Worth it.

  • December 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use this across our different departments for security, host monitoring, data intelligence, vulnerability and threat actor collections, correlation, alerting and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest complaint I hear is 2-fold: It's expensive and it's hard to learn. Both of these are true, but opposed to some competitors, this is just more baked and better. The cost can be justified and it's a leader in various vendor rubrics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our big thing is pulling in multiple data from various cloud and in-house data sources. Once you have the mapping correctly (CIM in Splunk speak) this is really great for correlating information and such.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a full POC before you buy. Make sure you test out custom log sources from in-house, not just COTS apps. It helps a lot with evaluating the product. Also, get a good estimate for data retention and necessary storage space you'll need for the archived data. Way easier to figure that out first, than trying to add on more later. Also, take the training. That helps as well.
