We do so much more than just what's listed
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility. We ingest some of the worst looking logs and force them into a usable form, generating reports and dashboards that business users make decisions from. At times I use Splunk as a clearinghouse for terribly formatted data that I don't even directly use, taking data that makes my BI team cry, reformatting it, cleaning it up and shoving it into a database for them to use further down the pipe. In the more standard uses, we use it to correlate various pieces of information from across our environment to identify when weird things are happening so we can better address them. But two of its primary strengths are the quality of the documentation and the thriving and active user community (answers.splunk.com, User Groups, their Slack channel and so on) who are always willing to help out if you need it!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's can be a significant amount of complexity, some of which is due to the domain across which it works, but some of which hasn't been smoothed over yet by Splunk. This is mostly not in the core product but in some of the Apps, which just need a little work. See comments on the community above, though - there are replacement apps and lots of help available on the Slack channel and in Answers!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The quick ability to make sense of new data has changed how we react to many situations, speeding up responses to complex questions we may have. The ability to correlate all the disparate events thrown out by all our devices and distill them into a small set of events that are actually unusual is one of the cornerstones of how we react to anomalies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk Fundamentals I is a ~8 hour free online course that gives you a basic understanding of how Splunk works, I recommend signing up for that and using that as your springboard. There's a free download of Splunk Enterprise that enables all features for 30+ days, you can switch it to a free version after that which costs nothing. Then get into Answers and into Slack in the Splunk user group channels and start playing around!
splunk enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface and presents the metadata in such an organized way and make troubleshooting a whole lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
the way to deploy app. it work fine but is just a little redundant. I dont like the fact that if you put one app in the deploy directory and deploy it will install that app and remove all the others. no matter how many. I think that's a design issue and needs to be fixed/.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use it to monitor logs for almost all our servers.

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are looking for a platform to monitor our network usages from users and hosts. In addition, being able to import logs for a readable format. The application saves us time in research and allows me to focus on other tasks.

There is a free version, but it's limited. You can decide to invest in this product. It's very expensive so keep that in mind.
