What do you dislike about the product?
The time range search could be improved by allowing the following type of input:
"last 3h" or "3d ago" which is easier to use than applying several clicks to achieve the same results.

User Interface and input methods could be more user friendly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very nice and useful, worth trying for productions systems where lot of monitoring is required.
Added Bonus to your IT Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Makes monitoring your environment easier with the help of this tools. You don't have to transverse the network looking for hostname to IP or IP to username. This program does it. Moreover, it monitor traffic like a firewall with the rules of the firewall.
Btw, it reads logs from your backup, windows events, and any logs you can throw at it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's still web base. Meaning, if your have a lot of internal traffic, site loads will differ. Your mileage will vary, that is my only complaint about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to save time by having a tool like Splunk to work along my Palo Alto Firewall. The PA is great, but doesn't do reporting well. Spunk makes finding malware to websites that a user takes easier. Save me a bunch of time and well worth the money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to save time, use this awesome software for logs, monitor hosts across networks, reporting, and malware.
Great tool to analyse logs
What do you like best about the product?
We use splunk logs day to day basis to analyse and effectively debug issues. We also use it which raising incidents of any failures where we use splunk to get all the required information for developers to debug the issue
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes it does not capture the errors correctly which makes it really difficult as we depend on the tool a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
checking and debugging errors, raise incident, provide information to developers
Very powerful software, but also very pricey
What do you like best about the product?
The power and flexibility when it comes to extracting information
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost.. the pricing model is $/GB and the costs just rise exponentially if you happen to have the necessity of working with many big logs!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Advanced monitoring and real time analysis of infrasctructure problems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't try to collect verbose or otherwise "heavy" logs as costs will rise quickly.
Amazing
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to look up logs and historical records of the same
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much and the software meets its expectation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get logs
Highly powerful, steep learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
If the data is in your logs, you can find it with Splunk. Sometimes I'm just searching for a key phrase in the last 30 days and I can get the answer back within seconds. At other times, I'm using a regex to extract a fraction of complex line and then graph that result to find anomalies and, again, the answer comes back within seconds. Splunk is incredibly powerful and I am constantly learning new things and new ways to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is incredibly steep. You essentially have an empty search box and you have to know what commands to use (and how to use them) to really get anything useful out of it. It has an alerting feature but it's a little...quirky. There doesn't seem to be a decent way to create live alerts--instead you can have a query run every minute but don't allow it look back more than 1 minute because otherwise you'll get duplicate results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a way to access all of our logs and notice trends. This limits the number of people who need access to production instances and we can also store many terabytes of logs and access the results with ease.
My experience with using Splunk Enterprise.
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards is very helpful. It gives us a lot of insight into what is happening. Also the alerting feature is also helpful. It helps to send out an email if there is an increase in threshold etc. Setting up file based forwarders is easy. Field extraction is also really great. It helps to analyze the search results.
What do you dislike about the product?
It will take a while to learn the SPL (Splunk search processing language) but after it is learnt, it helps to get a lot of helpful searches. Event correlation is not very easy to grasp. Also the search UI is not very intuitive. Sometimes Splunk is not very fast. And also sometimes events timeline doesn't respond well. Patterns can be improved to have more intuitiveness. More formats can be supported to export the results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Splunk to analyse our system and software logs. We also setup dashboards and custom alerts. We forward our application logs to splunk to analyse and find root cause of the problem. Monitoring the applications using Splunk alerts gives us peace of mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth considering. But there are also other new vendors who recently entered the market and are worth checking out.
Very Powerful, Very Complex
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to pick up and do short/simple queries, and once you get the hang of it, it is an incredibly powerful too. It doesn't really care what it is being used to search through or for, just point it at something, and it will do its job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk is easy to learn, hard to master. Getting from the simple searches to the advanced stuff is very challenging, especially if you teach yourself, but well worth it. Another downside is I wasn't able to find a way to publish records automatically to Jira. It would be incredibly useful to be able to push search results with test reports to Jira tickets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log searching and monitoring in our production environment. Using a tool like splunk, even without advanced knowledge, is a million times better than manually searching through logs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay for some kind of training for your people. They will be able to get much more out of it than if they are self taught.
Very useful
What do you like best about the product?
Imagine you have 10 servers running and you need to debug a exception. Wondering how you can login to each and check ? This is where Splunk is extremely handy. It has awesome data analyzing tools. The dashboards are extremely customization friendly .
What do you dislike about the product?
The queries is difficult to understand to start with. The overall UI itself looks extremely complicated when someone new to it starts using it. But yes, powerful tool will have some complexity , wouldn't it ?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do log analyzing using Splunk. The server logs are collected which makes searching for exceptions easier. The Dashboard is being used to know the latency of the API's which can be easily presented in any meetings.
