Empowering Log Management Excellence with Splunk Enterprise

  • December 27, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Splunk Enterprise's potent log analysis, user-friendly interface, scalability, alerting, and rich ecosystem empower efficient log management, offering a comprehensive view of systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Challenges include the perceived cost and licensing model, a learning curve for new users specially because of the SPL (Splunk Programming Language), and resource consumption in larger deployments. Effective optimization strategies are crucial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk Enterprise is crucial during high-impact events like Black Friday. With powerful dashboards and alerts, we achieve real-time visibility into critical applications. Monitoring data enables proactive issue response, swiftly detecting anomalies. This approach ensures operational health, preventing disruptions. Splunk's alerting features empower us to address issues before they escalate, ensuring a seamless customer experience. In essence, Splunk's real-time visibility enhances system reliability during peak demand.

End user Of Splunk - Okay…

  • December 31, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
VPN security.
Ability to handle large data sets.
For end users accessing data, simple learning curve.
Configurability of data and reporting - There's plenty of options.
SSO for ease of access.
Ability to consume a variety of end points.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data visualisation looks clunky. It's not a modern UI.
On our Enterprise version, the data is bulk loaded every 24 hours and it takes a considerable amount of time to load.
Loading reports can be a little slow but providing you don't mind waiting a good few seconds,it's not a big issue (just used to instantaneous data) - Likely hardware as well as software contributing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Suppling our org with data from a variety of data sources. Whether that's an adhoc project or an on-going metric, SPLUNK is a go-to that we use to view and analyse data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Data analysis can grow rapidly with a variety of end points coming into play. Highly recommend you define a scalable strategy that focuses on the teams that are likely to require the data. Without this, you're at risk of firefighting down the line for competing demand across each team. In terms of the software, we host SPLUNK on our own hardware. There are pros and cons to this and personally I prefer to go supplier hosted (assuming appropriate security checks) as it saves you the headache of monitoring and managing infrastructure.

Cutting edge but minor issues

What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is a truly self-service platform for ingesting many disparate data sources and performs very well in benchmark tests against its competitors. The ui is high quality and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain functionalities that don't come out of the box and require additional licensing if you truly want to get the best use of the tool. This process could be more transparent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marrying lots of different data and making sure everything is still performant. We have saved hundreds of hours and data accuracy is also a significant bonus factor
