What do you like best about the product?
From the users sides, it is a single platform that can provide everything a company needs without needing to go between different platforms that host different bits and pieces of the data needed to support a customer facing service. From the support side, my day job, it is very easy to built out new environments, set them up as we need, and support their ongoing usage.

I wish I could get more people at my company onboard with the concept of a single platform is better than multiple platforms.

All kinds including base event log index, along with schedule reports and alerting into Email, HipChat, Slack, and EMF, dashboards, and workflow auto-remediations.

What do you like best about the product?
Helps finding the events quick from server logs. This avoids us from logging into multiple servers separately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Except being proprietory the product is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating the logs from multiple servers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
May be think of providing license at free of cost and charge for support. Since industry prefers to go for more open source products to reduce cost. You guys might have analyzed all these, just a thought from side.

Making Your Logs Usable

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful and flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data. Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a definite learning curve to starting out. However, there is a quite a bit of documentation out there to help you get started. In addition Splunk documentation, the community (Splunk answers/slack channel/user groups) can help get you moving along a lot faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving over to Splunk has enabled our organization to utilize log files that were previously being collected and not reviewed. With Splunk now these logs are constantly reviewed and used to provide insight to who is using applications and how they are using them.

What do you like best about the product?
It has made projects more efficient (ease of joining multiple sources together, search times are quicker, etc.) which frees up more of my time to research, explore, and work on more projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Custom visualizations don't export to PDF
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Splunk Enterprise for Business Intelligence and use it to answer questions relating to revenue, product usage, system usage and health, etc. One amazing benefit is that we don't have to grab data from five different applications and join them all together in another tool to analyze. Splunk creates a single pane of glass and allows us to access all the data we need in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for software the ingests streaming data, CSVs, etc., and can read warehouse data, this is a great tool. The documentation is very thorough for every topic from installation, administration, search, development, etc. The customization is incredible. It is a truly innovative company with an amazing community that is very helpful for answering questions. No other software like it on the market.
