Splunk Review

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The alerting system is best part of this. By using Transaction flow analysis we can identify where exactly the issue is. Building query is simple and easy. We have been using Splunk for 3 years now and it has always been a great tool use to analyze the data patterns and alert us on all performance related issues and pattern matching.
What do you dislike about the product?
We run query for long time frame splunk performance will be effected. Ideally it creates one ticket for one type of exception but some times it creates more than one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Support analyst we use this for viewing logs and analyzing transaction logs. We use the logs for root cause analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool of Monitoring logs and tickets will be logged automatically

Very good for basic data querying, but not so easy for complex querying

  • December 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Monitoring Network Traffic with Splunk

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Splunk's speed when querying millions of logs to find specific data points. Combined with the online support pages that help with any type of query, Splunk makes searching through data easy. Additionally, the ability to start a search and have it sent via email upon completion allows for productivity to increase due to the fact that I do not have to sit around waiting for my query to complete. Lastly, the export feature is extremely convenient for digging through large amounts of data easily in Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you click to expand a search result and then attempt to scroll while this result is still expanded, you will get yanked back up to that result repeatedly until it is closed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to verify the number of users that are using each route out to the internet, and then use that information to determine the use of one system vs. the other (i.e. proxy traffic vs. firewall traffic). This allowed me to solve the problem of bottlenecks on one by focusing more traffic through the other. The benefits of this change are increased speed for users and more safety of our information and systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk Enterprise will change the way that an organization is able to look through its traffic logs. A search of millions of records takes very little time, and each query can be customized to find and show only what the user wants.
