Splunk Advantages
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk will publish the data by connecting to any different source systems and shown in the dashboard with all the trend.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depends upon the Application logs and sys logs rather than having its own data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking the transactions and it could help business in terms of publishing the transaction trend and also in triageing the issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very good tool to capture the logs form different sources and publish the statistics to business
Great search, not so great UI
What do you like best about the product?
The ability in Splunk to search for errors online and without having to SSH or Telnet into a console would have to be the best feature of Splunk by far.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to then simply review and investigate a particular log message would have to be the biggest downfall of the platform. Text is presented in the tokenised view and it definitely isnt intuitive on how log messages and the surrounding (preceding or proceeding) logs can be viewed easily... if it’s possible I still haven’t figured it out after 12 months of using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to determine if an error occurred, not great at determining other errors in the lead up to a particular problem however.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improve the search result UI would have a dramatic improvement on usability. Not living up to the dream in it’s current state.
Splunk performs a service, but is kind of clunky
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk captures a great deal of data for reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting a decent report requires a lot of manipulation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have business programs that do not have reporting that integrate with Splunk.
Analytics for the rest of us
What do you like best about the product?
Practical data ingestion implementation, multiple data sources and types.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still editing config files without version control?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manufacturing related problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your homework and quantify business impacts when dealing with systemic problems.
Splunk has been a great platform to learn, support, and use at my company.
What do you like best about the product?
From the users sides, it is a single platform that can provide everything a company needs without needing to go between different platforms that host different bits and pieces of the data needed to support a customer facing service. From the support side, my day job, it is very easy to built out new environments, set them up as we need, and support their ongoing usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could get more people at my company onboard with the concept of a single platform is better than multiple platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All kinds including base event log index, along with schedule reports and alerting into Email, HipChat, Slack, and EMF, dashboards, and workflow auto-remediations.
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.

Licensing, especially for large enterprises
