Single Pane of Glass
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk gives us the single pane of glass view we have been wanting. We are able to pull in logs from our various monitoring tools and get visibility end-to-end with a single view.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I am sure the product isn't perfect, it fulfills our needs better than previous products. Therefore, there is little to say in the dislike category.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed end-to-end visibility in a single tool to prevent having to troubleshooting a problem with multiple teams and tools.
Great tool if you need log aggregation
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk provides an easy way to search multiple log files over a period of time. You can search by any combination of unique text. The syntax is similar to that of SQL where you can use keywords such as AND and OR. Logs are archived for time capsule viewing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's rich with features which can be overwhelming. The search over a long period of time can sometimes be slow and fail to pull back result altogether. If you try to view a log's source, it can take several minutes for results to return.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our system has many instances per application which each has its own log. Splunk aggregates all those instance logs into one and also archives older logs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is a godsend for any large scale application/system that wants a solution to having to connect to individual boxes and viewing one log at a time.
A great roduct
What do you like best about the product?
I like the posibility to ingest a large number of logs/data format and to play with it. In a very short time, beginners are able to have a clear view of things that were hidden in the mount of data to be processed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the possibility :
1. to add pdf export to custom visualisation,
2. to configure drilldown fields in custom visualisation

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for log analysis, both for IT and non-IT systems. Everywhere you can find logs, in fact.
A good tool for end to end service analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk gives me a way to program own script to pick up key information and perform analysis automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm seeking a much easier way drag and drop graphic tool can make scripting much more easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using Splunk to integrate our end to end service monitoring and analysis. Splunk is a good tool to collect all key information from various platforms and applications through the whole end to end service connectivity to provide a direct view for the health of the service for our operation team .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is a good tool for big data collection, analysis and presentation.
Great and powerful analytical tool
What do you like best about the product?
easy to setup and use. It's an excellent tool to analyze real-time data & logs
What do you dislike about the product?
With its long features using it can get really complex using it. you will have to read through many documentation to find the answers you're looking for and sometimes you don't find it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Splunk to setup alerts and monitors for our production system which help in reducing the turn around time for troubleshooting any issue.
Splunk Review
What do you like best about the product?
The alerting system is best part of this. By using Transaction flow analysis we can identify where exactly the issue is. Building query is simple and easy. We have been using Splunk for 3 years now and it has always been a great tool use to analyze the data patterns and alert us on all performance related issues and pattern matching.
What do you dislike about the product?
We run query for long time frame splunk performance will be effected. Ideally it creates one ticket for one type of exception but some times it creates more than one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Support analyst we use this for viewing logs and analyzing transaction logs. We use the logs for root cause analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool of Monitoring logs and tickets will be logged automatically
Very good for basic data querying, but not so easy for complex querying
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk very nicely provides query/search access to huge volumes of data (for example log-file data). If you're interested in finding specific occurrences of something/anything within your data, Splunk is a nice tool to have. For basic querying, it cannot be beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you need to find an "area" within your huge volume of data (for example, either what happened immediately before or after a specific occurrence) then you end up fighting with Splunk to let you see that "area". Personally, I've ended up having to write extremely complex regular expressions within Splunk just to be able to see these "areas", and they work, but it needs to be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Splunk to diagnose problems within a web-application by querying the application log file data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For simple querying it's very easy to pickup and use, but for complex querying, you'll need a strong background in regular expressions.
Great Logging for Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Offers great predefined applications and visualised dashboards to dispaly and make sense of the logs. These make it very easy to see the wood for the trees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the best applications and dashboards can bee quite expensive although there are kes comprehensive free versions available
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralised logging for complaince through distributed nodes.
Also ulilising the logging for internal preformance monitoring on our own applications

Easy and Quick
What do you like best about the product?
The colors and menu items are very intuitive. It may not be a big thing but it is easy on the eyes
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks support for agile cycles. If a planning mechanism is included like Jira, it would be a good improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling large amounts of data and alerts.
The clear leader in centralized log management and monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup, upgrade, manage, and configure to meet your needs. The universal forwarder makes this easier than any other solution out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price can be of a concern. If you have a large influx of traffic being logged, you could easily go over your license limit and have a violation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better detection of errors in application logs
