Great Monitor Tool, Take it Slow
What do you like best about the product?
I am using Splunk now to monitor the logs from my backup server. The fact that it can import in logs from another host is great. The love the reporting for the logs as it provide an easy to use ad-hoc query which output a readable format for you to understand. You can actually go beyond logs and into monitor your network for spikes in processes and resources. What makes this unique is knowing which host and users are associated with the processes.

It's very confusing at first because there's so many tools and links. It's not simple so do read up before you tackle this product. This product costs a lot of money for what it delivers.

Splunk Enterprise: Product Review
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is a fantastic tool that we depend on. It isn't just development work we rely on Splunk for, but we also use it for testing engineering changes as a standard before production releases. From ease-of-use, forwarding data from a variety of data sources, and E2E data correlation, Splunk has been able to package software that does it all!
What do you dislike about the product?
Recent versions of Splunk can be a bit chatty in terms of messages that are displayed in Splunk Web. I'm finding a lot of questions coming from the business teams like, "I'm seeing this error - what does this mean?", or "This error message came up when I ran this search in the dashboard, can you please have a look?". Most often messages that display are not directly correlated to what the Splunk users are performing. I may have missed it, but it would be great to pass something off to the business teams that they could reference if a particular set of error messages occur. Any infrastructure-related messages would ultimately be handled by the core Splunk team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most rewarding and challenging problems I've solved with Splunk are E2E monitoring solutions for our core customer transactions. Never in the history of the company has this been implemented. For the first time, we were able to correlate data across multiple systems, and ensure (at least a ) 99.5% success rate. This is higher today,
