Great application when it works well

  • March 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find information, easy to view and understand, easy to locate information located in different locations. For queries with a long result, it minimizes the result in an expandable box for ease of viewing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Has a tendency to run extremely slow and sometimes simple changes in terminology can cause a difference in results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business uses this software to locate important data easily. I also use splunk to categorize information in an easy to interpret structure.

Data Swiss Army Knife

  • February 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to ingest any sort of data. If you can work out where something you want lies in a stream of data, it can become a field. So literally anything you can get a response from becomes a data source.
What do you dislike about the product?
While you can get results really quickly in a new environment, it can take some practice until the penny drops and you can just write off a search without looking things up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All sorts, but chiefly operations.

Splunk flavored Life Saver

  • February 14, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Splunk allows me to quick diagnose problems and in most cases prevent them for going wide spread by pulling in logs from all of the sources in our development architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that it can be difficult to pull data in from a database, they make the DB Connect app, but it is does not work very well in our situation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our internal application stack. Splunk has reduced on call incidents and allowed us to spend more time being proactive than reactive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and you will never look back. We started using Splunk just monitor a server that kept crashing, now we are fully integrating Splunk into our DevOps flow. Splunk is the glue that holds it together.

Robust Search and Correlation Capabilities

  • February 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Splunk is the ease of setting up forwards and ingesting multiple sources of data from structured to unstructured. Splunk does a great job of correlating events and search capabilities are robust as long as you know the search commands. The ability to setup alerts is helpful and the out of the box filtering capabilities are useful for new analysts.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Splunk is the slight learning curve at the beginning. Once you get the hang of how to do searches, searching becomes second hand. The product is also pricey, but you do get your month's worth so there is value in this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problems we are trying to solve with Splunk Enterprise are event correlation and incident management. Splunk gives us the ability to search across multiple data sources from one easy to use interface. The benefit of this is that we no longer have to log in to multiple data sources to query relevant date relating to an incident. The robust search capabilities are the biggest benefit we have realized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For consistency, it would be helpful to deploy the forwarders via group policy or your software deployment tools. Splunk can also pull logs from systems as well. Make sure that you have enough space depending on how much data you wish to cache.
