Splunk is great for viewing network traffic logs
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is very robust with being able to search network traffic, create dashboards and automate reports and alerts. It allows users and admins to solve many problems. Our company has created several alerts for when people on the network download any files that look like they could be a virus, or if they are using illegal software, or trying to login with wrong passwords constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a large learning curve to being able to use Splunk and be able to understand what the data you're looking at filter through it all to find what you need. It's very good if you know what you're doing, which there is documentation for, but if you don't have lots of networking experience and knowledge it's easy to be lost and overwhelmed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor all of our network's traffic with Splunk. It gives us metrics on what our University's population is using the network for and helps alert us if there are issues. It's a useful tool when troubleshooting login and connection issues. It also helps with identifying security issues. These security problems are able to be visualized as a report or dashboard for managers, even non-technical ones, to quickly get understandable information from.

The password is not the instance ID but...
The documentation is wrong with this current ami I believe. The username and password is admin:password for the web front end. SSH I have not been able to go into yet because we only use SSM and the agent is not installed by default. Jury is still out on the rest but at this time it all looks the same as an OVA or a bare metal install.
Splunk use cases in Enterprise Private Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
The scalability and ease of deployment. it supports almost all hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few bugs in integration environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it for telemetry purpose and to set up on prem and public cloud component monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very good platform for open solutions.
Helped identify transaction dollar amount issues
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed that Splunk had all details for transactions; i.e. time, date, processor, exp date, PII, how & where the transaction was processed, device ID, etc. It also shows the initially authorized dollar amount of the transaction and if it was captured for a different amount.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk can be very complicated to navigate and use for identifying a particular transaction. I often had to ask someone for assistance when attempting to search for something in particular or to understand fully what I was reading. There's definitely an overload of data and you can get lost looking for one or a few transactions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved & benefits for fraud; A client had transaction issues where we were unable to determine the true amount of each transaction. Using Splunk allowed me to see how much the transaction was for and thus verify each transaction. If fraud occurred, I'd also be able to verify PII through Splunk & what was entered or retained at the time of the transaction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A plethora of information, complicated to navigate, many different search options. Must know the most efficient way to navigate and narrow down search results.

Data analytics is good but no product for IPv6 support
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud splunk is easy to use and data storage is amazing.This is the biggest advantage of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inspite of being an amazing giant for data capturing and analysis, I dislike its capability to support IPv6 only infrastructure. Also they have no roadmap yet to go towards supporting it. SO this is the biggest limitation of the product as far as I am converned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that I am trying to solve is data analysis. We are using it for monitoring our enterprise environment, hardware and doing data analysis. The biggest advantage is ease of use with various kinds of infrastructure. So that is the reason I love this product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to go too IPv6 for your internal infrastructure or have roadmap towards moving in that direction, then please avoid implementing this product unless they come up with the roadmap for the same. However if that is not the case, then definitely go towards this one.
