A great roduct
What do you like best about the product?
I like the posibility to ingest a large number of logs/data format and to play with it. In a very short time, beginners are able to have a clear view of things that were hidden in the mount of data to be processed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the possibility :
1. to add pdf export to custom visualisation,
2. to configure drilldown fields in custom visualisation
1. to add pdf export to custom visualisation,
2. to configure drilldown fields in custom visualisation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for log analysis, both for IT and non-IT systems. Everywhere you can find logs, in fact.
Great and powerful analytical tool
What do you like best about the product?
easy to setup and use. It's an excellent tool to analyze real-time data & logs
What do you dislike about the product?
With its long features using it can get really complex using it. you will have to read through many documentation to find the answers you're looking for and sometimes you don't find it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Splunk to setup alerts and monitors for our production system which help in reducing the turn around time for troubleshooting any issue.
Very good for basic data querying, but not so easy for complex querying
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk very nicely provides query/search access to huge volumes of data (for example log-file data). If you're interested in finding specific occurrences of something/anything within your data, Splunk is a nice tool to have. For basic querying, it cannot be beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you need to find an "area" within your huge volume of data (for example, either what happened immediately before or after a specific occurrence) then you end up fighting with Splunk to let you see that "area". Personally, I've ended up having to write extremely complex regular expressions within Splunk just to be able to see these "areas", and they work, but it needs to be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Splunk to diagnose problems within a web-application by querying the application log file data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For simple querying it's very easy to pickup and use, but for complex querying, you'll need a strong background in regular expressions.
Great Logging for Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Offers great predefined applications and visualised dashboards to dispaly and make sense of the logs. These make it very easy to see the wood for the trees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the best applications and dashboards can bee quite expensive although there are kes comprehensive free versions available
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralised logging for complaince through distributed nodes.
Also ulilising the logging for internal preformance monitoring on our own applications

The clear leader in centralized log management and monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup, upgrade, manage, and configure to meet your needs. The universal forwarder makes this easier than any other solution out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price can be of a concern. If you have a large influx of traffic being logged, you could easily go over your license limit and have a violation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better detection of errors in application logs
Great log analysis plus alert and reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The visualization graph features as well as the alert and notifications
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to learn the syntax for log search. Should have made it a little easier for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some notification report emails generated out of so to notify is of any serious error in loga. We are also using it to generate server usage graphs like CPU utilization and memory pages etc.
Splunk review
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.
Get the training

I like having real time alerts panel is easy to use and reporting is detailed
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the alerting is overly sensitive even when we lower the settings updates are too frequent and dislike having to install a forwarder
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time monitoring of enterprise applications and reporting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works great
Powerful tool to pull logs
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about spunk log is pull logs based on the time period. The logs are easy to read. Same system can pull the data from many environment. you can run your queries to pull the data. You can download all the logs in different file format. You can search your logs based on certain time period with any text. It can also pull the data based on the different system swell.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coping of logs is not simple. It should have a link or button to copy a particular logs. I seen lots of issue with internet
explorer browser. Its very slow with IE but works well with Chrome.
