Dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about the product is its use for the api dashboard. You can customize your search query and add it to the dashboard and get email notifications everyday (the way we set it).
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing integration with known IDEs (Netbeans, IntelliJ, JDeveloper..)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
logs in one common place for all the services you have. Search is easier and you can customize it as per your needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the biggest problems with Splunk is their cost model as they charge by the GB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are easily able to aggregate logs for our web-based solutions which helps immensely with troubleshooting. We also create dashboards to see what solutions our users are using and if any issues are starting to arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider getting the unlimited pricing tier as you don't realize how much data you logs aggregated can add up to.
Centralized logging management service
What do you like best about the product?
Very nice user experience with a lot of graph options.
"One click" report creator tool.
In contrast to ElasticSearch+Kibana, you get all services together.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can think only about high price of this product. Need to pay per GB/Month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a 10 GB of logs each day and needed to do some statistics and reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you have enough money, this tool is the best! This is only logging management system that gets you all services together.
Logs logs logs FTW
What do you like best about the product?
A super useful tool to figure out what's happening on production environments, helping us to quickly track and fix production issues that help real customers. It is simple to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far so good, I don't deal with many of the splunk issues that the guy in charge always complains about, i just know it requires high maintenance work and someone with a special set of skills to do so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real customer benefit as we are able to know exactly what happened when an issue arises. Some Customer Care agents are able to figure out what's wrong from the logs, even tho this is not their job, but it is so easy to use, thanks to this, not all issues get escalated to the development team, letting us focus in other stuff. If any issue is escalated to the dev team, we can quickly go to splunk and figure out what's happening.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is a good and reliable software, it's definitely a must have that translates into real customer benefit.

Splunk makes left easy
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customize and built things the way I need them. I am able to search and filter exactly what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there isn't much I can say that I do not like. Sometimes it can be slow depending on my search criteria but somewhat expected. It can also be a bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All info in one single interface. Saves tons of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Leaving the money aspect of it, it will save the company tons of time. Time is money but if you currently have everything in multiple places, splunk will pay for itself.
Powerful, Malleable, sometimes too complex
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly powerful, can handle the entirety of a large scale online business data indexing. Can dive into just about any error type and logs to debug whats going on in the business. Good looking dashboards to track statistics, admittedly underutilized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires nearly a specialty in the program itself, while it can do just about anything log and data related, it needs classes and instruction to be fully utilized. The query language can be a bit overbearing and needs a bit of time to get used to it. Doesn't get its full potential realized until expertise is obtained.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying and triggering of alerts for various error types and volumes. Investigation into incidents related to customer activity, server functionality, and various business situations. Can dig into just about anything done from the frontend to the backend data-wise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you/your company is utilizing or planning on utilizing Splunk, then I would highly recommend the Splunk training that is offered. It can be expensive, but if you want to get the the full Splunk experience it is highly recommended. Before any Splunk training, I was only using about 10% of its power. I would like to think I am up to 50% now.
Collect and Analyze your Application Performance
What do you like best about the product?
The beautiful charts of your performance , logs or data. Perfectly indexed logs. While i say Perfectly indexed it means you can search any thing out of big data quite easily. For me that is the real power of Splunk.
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate its query interface. Its as powerful as advertised but not very easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to maintain logs (csv, xml and other) of about 200 applications. Manual searching requires a lot resources. But now we have shifted to splunk. We are inspired by its indexing power. Now searching from logs is quire easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect if you are looking for performance analysis or logs management.
Its free for some extend of resource you can check the limits. Try it and i bet you will find it really useful.

Splunk is a great product
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is a great product. We have a enterprise license and have been using it from 4 years. Splunk has a great and easy to use user interface. We were able to build many dashboards which give lot of useful information. No need to login to various backend nodes to retrieve logs which are not in a readable format.Using splunk we can access any logging info regardless of which machine that data is stored in. We were able to identify many bugs and issues in our code before our clients saw it and many times before the code is delivered to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any major complaints about splunk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to identify many bugs and issues in our code before our clients saw it and many times before the code is delivered to clients. Also now we have one centralized place to see the logs regardless of environments.
