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

  • June 19, 2021
  • 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.

The ease of splunk queries to extract reports out of logs

Splunk can be little slower in extracting reports of the data is huge

    E-Learning

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.

Also this tool is greatly support the next generation tool and cloud concept its really impressive to continue monitoring on the authentication and many more aspects.

For our organization this tool work as a great monitoring platform to maintain and keep eye on the unauthorize activities. This too helps us in regards with major outcome and define the sustainable rules for the accessing and granting permission point of view.

Splunk Enterprise for IT Industries

  • July 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized monitoring, alerting, and analyze logs of our cloud servers and physical devices.
Easier to handle the error logs via alerting using the filters.
Easy to divide the operations dashboard vise, which is helping the each department to view there information.
