Worth its weight in gold
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to track trends, create alerts and notifications, share data, ingest data, and get the whole team up to speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. Learning curve (powerful, but challenging)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring, support, dashboard, notifications, reporting.
The cost is really high, but we figured if we used its fully capability, we would require 1 fewer helpdesk person. It took awhile to get the various reports and dashboards set up, but we now have complete visibility into our business, with full history and analytics that anyone in the company can dive into.

I can think only about high price of this product. Need to pay per GB/Month.

if you have enough money, this tool is the best! This is only logging management system that gets you all services together.
Log Aggregator
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk has an easy to use interface that can hide how powerful the software can be. It is useful for anyone monitoring anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little I dislike about splunk. I suppose the only thing I think they could improve is make it cheaper so we don't have to worry as much about our data limits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to monitor our platform.
Standing in front of the firehose
What do you like best about the product?
The total amount of information that can be processed and parsed up into useful data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems that every new product requires me to learn a new syntax or language in order to make full use of a product. This is no different, but it is still useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many unique data collection methods in our environment. Being able to redirect them into an analysis engine that can then correlate that data into meaningful, actionable dashboards helps a great deal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, but I understand that there can be significant cost issues depending on the amount of data being collected/stored.
Excellent tool to dig through data and extract analytics information
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is easy to use and allows the mining of disparate log files to consolidate reporting and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, the product worked very well. Admins were able to set it up and push out the report functionaly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mining log files of connection information for web services that allow us to provide usage information to the organization and to the clients themselves.
Positive experience using Splunk
What do you like best about the product?
Relatively light weight and quick. Fairly easy to use and navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive. Bit of a learning curve with querying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to problem solve issues in production through quickly querying logs
Logs logs logs FTW
What do you like best about the product?
A super useful tool to figure out what's happening on production environments, helping us to quickly track and fix production issues that help real customers. It is simple to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far so good, I don't deal with many of the splunk issues that the guy in charge always complains about, i just know it requires high maintenance work and someone with a special set of skills to do so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real customer benefit as we are able to know exactly what happened when an issue arises. Some Customer Care agents are able to figure out what's wrong from the logs, even tho this is not their job, but it is so easy to use, thanks to this, not all issues get escalated to the development team, letting us focus in other stuff. If any issue is escalated to the dev team, we can quickly go to splunk and figure out what's happening.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk is a good and reliable software, it's definitely a must have that translates into real customer benefit.
