Great tool for watching for threats on your network
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards that Splunk uses (that are able to be customized to your needs) are second to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk has a pricing model where the cost of their software has to do with the amount of data that it ingests. I would rather see something that was done on a node basis rather than total amount of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk helps my company better monitor the network for suspicious activity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk takes a bit to get running. I would suggest that anyone looking into implementing Splunk send any team member planning to use this software to the vendor training courses.
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.
Splunk is great for mining data and reporting on that data
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to define the search parameters and to change them on the fly, you can also build graphs to view the progression of the trend. If you use the data often, build a dashboard and consume the data when you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
you have to remember all the names of the field in the database for a successful query
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are improving on view server logs and the resulting errors. This allows us to fix issues that we have now and spot trends that may come later.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have server logs to be consumed by anyone this program is a must.
Splunk log monitoring

Being able to watch and search real time logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since starting to use the tool about 3 years ago, I have not found anything that I would say that I have disliked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring the logs during production deploy. It gives you an immediate view of what is going on in the environment as the roll out happens.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead and try it. You will definitely like it. The customer service and the help you receive from their support team is awesome.
Using Splunk to analyse our system and software logs.
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards are very helpful. It gives our team a lot of insight into what is happening. The alerting feature is also helpful. It helps to send out an email if there is an increase in threshold
What do you dislike about the product?
It will take a while to learn the SPL (Splunk search processing language) but after it is learned, it helps to get a lot of helpful searches. Event correlation is not very easy to grasp without the proper training.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Splunk to analyze our system and software logs. We also setup dashboards and custom alerts. We forward our application logs to splunk to analyze and find root cause of the problem. It aggregates the data we need where we need it,
