Best log search tool

Splunk makes it easier to search through various data including logs. I was used to fetch the details through logs in order to find the one lines among the 100 of thousands of lines.

Great application even for frontend engineers
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use XML to create and style your own dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
To get the most out of the app a lot of people with different skill sets need to be involved and with the same goal in mind, for example, the observability engineers are the ones in charge of the maintenance and setup of the Splunk platform and data, while the backend engineers are the ones that implement the logs caught by Splunk. The frontend engineers need to look into the available logs and see what information from there is useful to create a dashboard that can be used for ourselves or for the product owners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Measuring the adoption rate of new modules and features. Is very easy to see where our customers are finding more value from our products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software that is useful for the entire engineering department. Is important that to extract the most value from this investment you must make a conscious effort to align and train employees with different skillsets to be able to get the most out of the dashboards, visualizations, data discovery, and alerts. Well used this can bring insights of your product from different perspectives, not only for data analytics but also for use cases such as measuring the feature adoption rate, this can help you tweak your UI to make sure you focus your engineering workforce on the modules and functionality that bring the most value to the users of your app.

The complex structure of queries . To search for any transaction or call to webservice we will have to enter query which I feel is complex sometimes.

Business Intelligence and Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is very simple to understand. Splunk provides functionalities like Data collection, normalization, visualization and alerting. I like all the functionalities because all are very simple to understand and are tightly bound with the Splunk Enterprise. I also liked the feature of adaptive response with Splunk ES. I also loved the data model functionality to provide a hierarchical data structure and retrieve the data faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The data cleaning process in Splunk has very limited scope. You have to remove the whole data from Splunk. It will not provide you the control to remove data for a particular source type. I also disliked some of the charts which are not interactive and it has some limitation to plot ticks on the chart. Pricing is also very high compared to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Splunk to create so many integrations with a third-party vendor to provide them insights. We are also using all the functionalities to make the Addon better and also tuning the performance of dashboards and field extraction. We are also using Splunk Adaptive response to provide a quick action to be taken on some events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is very user-friendly and UI is also good to understand any new user. If money is not a constraint then go ahead with the Splunk instead of others. Default Splunk charts are good and easy to understand. It will be easy for user to create any new chart using it.
