Powerful Product With An Intuitive User Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Great for visualizing any application data that is required and the custom dashboard feature makes it easy to have related reports and queries all in one place.It's easy to understand the interface, graphs are good and can be easily exported. The keywords on the left side are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say query building which might be a steep for non technical user. Also licensing the Splunk software would be little expensive so the best thing would be to start with a small amount of data and see it if works for you or not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Splunk for the capacity planning which covered setting up the forwarder in the source system and creating multiple dashboards as per the requirements. Also try Splunk dashboards & perform automation through a script using the Splunk API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out in an enterprise environment, that's where all the bells and whistles shine out.
