I used it specially for communication log withing two or more than two application system. Request and response log we get along with full header and body message.

The visualization and reporting ability of Splunk. The ability of splunk to assimilate any quantity of data. The chance that it gives to reduce the incoming data whenever there is a warning of license usage than the procured one. it does this through multiple warning before a violation happens. the encription mechanism it follows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the time , a restart is required. The performance will be very worst if we dont know to configure the Splunk environment. to configure a splunk environment it needs greater knowledge on splunk tool. When other tools are compared, the knowledge required is very less and it is mostly click next go and go but this is not the case with splunk. it needs to improve on the usability side. though splunk has huge capabilities but most of the features dont come out of the box. we have to achieve it by writing a spl query or take the help of scripting.

Splunk is revolutionary tool for tracking logs, showing summary in Dashboard. Splunk quick and easy

It's way for searching the logs based on the multiple parameters and showing items in the left hand side, which enables us to add in the search query by just one click.

Writing queries is bit complex. If a UI can be provided for that, it would be great and then additional feature or clauses can be added in the search index.

We were not able to see the logs for a particular times, it was very hard to track the problems but when we used it. It changed our life by providing so simple way to search the logs. It searches the logs too quickly. Even Million lines of the logs can be taken in few seconds.

Business Intelligence and Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is very simple to understand. Splunk provides functionalities like Data collection, normalization, visualization and alerting. I like all the functionalities because all are very simple to understand and are tightly bound with the Splunk Enterprise. I also liked the feature of adaptive response with Splunk ES. I also loved the data model functionality to provide a hierarchical data structure and retrieve the data faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The data cleaning process in Splunk has very limited scope. You have to remove the whole data from Splunk. It will not provide you the control to remove data for a particular source type. I also disliked some of the charts which are not interactive and it has some limitation to plot ticks on the chart. Pricing is also very high compared to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Splunk to create so many integrations with a third-party vendor to provide them insights. We are also using all the functionalities to make the Addon better and also tuning the performance of dashboards and field extraction. We are also using Splunk Adaptive response to provide a quick action to be taken on some events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is very user-friendly and UI is also good to understand any new user. If money is not a constraint then go ahead with the Splunk instead of others. Default Splunk charts are good and easy to understand. It will be easy for user to create any new chart using it.
