The most versatile data mining product I know of
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk takes in any data in almost any form (as long as it is human readable text) and allows searching, manipulation, transformation, calculation, etc. and then presents it in a multitude of ways to make the data tell a helpful story. That is superior to products that make you set up each type of data in a set format. We have data that varies greatly even among similar software products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs, though to be honest, I haven't run across many, and they seem to get fixed pretty quickly. I've run into some that usually have a workaround, which makes it easier to deal with the bug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Splunk for many purposes. Developers use it to find coding problems, operations uses it to find operational issues, managers look at reporting and forecasting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn as much as you can before implementing a large installation, or use professional services to get you started. You can keep from making lots of bad mistakes by doing so. Many people go into the implementation making simple, but critical mistakes that can be hard to rectify. These are things that are documented, but people don't take the time to find out about them, so they make those mistakes anyway.

Incident Analysis
Great tool for watching for threats on your network
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards that Splunk uses (that are able to be customized to your needs) are second to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk has a pricing model where the cost of their software has to do with the amount of data that it ingests. I would rather see something that was done on a node basis rather than total amount of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk helps my company better monitor the network for suspicious activity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Splunk takes a bit to get running. I would suggest that anyone looking into implementing Splunk send any team member planning to use this software to the vendor training courses.
Reviewing Splunk

Reports and queries are fast ready when mangemen makes a request.

Queries need to be individually customized to specific reports.

Powerful Product With An Intuitive User Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Great for visualizing any application data that is required and the custom dashboard feature makes it easy to have related reports and queries all in one place.It's easy to understand the interface, graphs are good and can be easily exported. The keywords on the left side are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say query building which might be a steep for non technical user. Also licensing the Splunk software would be little expensive so the best thing would be to start with a small amount of data and see it if works for you or not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Splunk for the capacity planning which covered setting up the forwarder in the source system and creating multiple dashboards as per the requirements. Also try Splunk dashboards & perform automation through a script using the Splunk API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out in an enterprise environment, that's where all the bells and whistles shine out.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve to Splunks query language.

We are using Splunk for capturing the logs of our XML Firewall. The logs are much more granular than using what is offered in the Firewall application.
Splunk is great for mining data and reporting on that data
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to define the search parameters and to change them on the fly, you can also build graphs to view the progression of the trend. If you use the data often, build a dashboard and consume the data when you need it.

you have to remember all the names of the field in the database for a successful query
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are improving on view server logs and the resulting errors. This allows us to fix issues that we have now and spot trends that may come later.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have server logs to be consumed by anyone this program is a must.
Great tools for searching, organizing and visualizing logs

Sometimes when the data size is large, the response time is slow.

We have logged tons of application & system logs to Splunk. It helps us to quick monitor some realtime issues and address the system problem to protect the business.
Splunk for CA Agile reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Quick lists of CA Agile data at your finger tips. Splunk gives quick views of queries rapidly.

Having to validate the data because it is another way to pull the same CAAC data and you want to make sure the report is accurate.

Reporting for Test Case and Defect reporting for User Acceptance Testing. All other data from CA Agile is available for reporting.

The time range search could be improved by allowing the following type of input:
