It has a fairly steep learning curve, but once you learn it, it's powerful

We use it to view our application logs, and find the cause of errors.

What do you dislike about the product?
When I think of what I dislike about Splunk, nothing comes to mind.

What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is very user friendly and on the analytics side, the visuals created are very elegant!
What do you dislike about the product?
As you scale does the price and it can definitely get overly expensive and the more data you need to index, the higher the CPU cost is. Also some of the querying requires a bit of a learning curve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log processing and querying and analytics on these logs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would not recommend Splunk For small to medium sized businesses since there are better and cheaper tools out there
Log Aggregator
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk has an easy to use interface that can hide how powerful the software can be. It is useful for anyone monitoring anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little I dislike about splunk. I suppose the only thing I think they could improve is make it cheaper so we don't have to worry as much about our data limits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to monitor our platform.
Positive experience using Splunk

Expensive. Bit of a learning curve with querying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to problem solve issues in production through quickly querying logs
flexible tool

I mainly liked the ability provided for performing searches
What do you dislike about the product?
overall it was a good tool, but w/data export had some difficulty sharing results
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Splunk Enterprise Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to capture and examine logs from various sources and turn it into normalized event data. I don't have to comb through several raw logs to find what I'm looking for and you can customize it to fit you organizations exact needs.... great benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
This may be due to lack of knowledge but the ability to integrate directly with CVEs from the NVD. Maybe there's a data pull that exists that I don't know about. But if that was advertised more or perhaps more knowledge about that then I believe that would be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Addressing material weaknesses through implementing an Enterprise wide log solution.
Fully featured and performant
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk provides a convenient mechanism for gathering numerous system and software logs. The ability to search historical and real-time logs is a key capability for our monitoring. The custom field extraction and reporting are also a great feature for analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk relies on a Perl-based regular expression structure. I can regex just about anything I want in a python regex and routinely am frustrated by Splunk's support of only Perl regex. This translates into a lot of lost time trying to figure out how to get my custom field extract to extract only what I want extracted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We see benefits in two key areas.
First, automatic detection and notification of errors in our volumes of logs. With a distributed system churning out logs from numerous components, it is impossible for a human to review those logs, detect anomalies, and correlate errors across them. With the use of Splunk Enterprise, we are able to set up intelligent searches that detect error custom error conditions and generate alerts to our operators for triage.
Second, a significant reduction in effort to perform analysis of software performance and usage. Through adding custom log messages in our software and custom field extraction in Splunk, we are able to generate detailed performance information that can be viewed in real-time or over custom historical periods. Similarly we are able to analyze our logs to determine how our system is being used. These features are critical to our operations and are a huge cost savings in time and effort.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is an excellent solution for simple to complex systems for log retention and analysis.
Great product for organizing and searching large sets of data
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk does a good job of ingesting log data in a variety of formats, without needing to define every field to parse ahead of time. Many modules available to help process common sources
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboard setup is somewhat limited without aftermarket plugins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Combining many different log types into a single searchable repository makes it easy to correlate activity from many sources and gain a fuller understanding of what is going on.
Spunk is a must have for any large corporation
What do you like best about the product?
The query language, speed, and visualizations are truly amazing. Reporting, alerting, and ability to read any log format known to man just makes it that much better. For more advanced and dedicated users, scripting is also available in power shell or python.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure there is much to dislike, maybe cost?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. It fits our mission which is to grow our advanced analytics capabilities
2. Error prevention and monitoring in real time is huge
