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.

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
