Pros

“We use it to store and analyze in real time network traffic for our custom L4 firewall.”

Developer

“It is also widely used, so once you are familiar with ELK, you are likely to have a good fundamental knowledge of how monitoring, logging... works”

Software Engineer

“It has open source version so that anyone can start using without worrying about cost.”

Software Engineer

Pros

“The integrations provide coverage for almost everything we use (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker) and the agent configuration isn’t nearly as painful as I had imagined it to be.”
JP

Jeremy P.

Vice President of Sales

“With Splunk we now have one dashboard that provides a view of all aspects of our environment and we can create alerts based upon combinations of metrics rather than simply alerting on a threshold of one metric per service.”
JP

Jeremy P.

Vice President of Sales

“Alert fatigue is real if you don’t make sure to tune your monitors correctly — tuning them requires an incredible amount of time that not all teams possess. While the feature list looks amazing at first glance, it becomes overwhelming quickly, and requires somebody to essentially serve as a Splunk administrator full-time to prevent it from becoming a disaster.”
JP

Vice President of Sales

Cons

“Also, out of the box integration with popular tools are not as great as other alternatives.”
PN

Phuc N.

Software Engineer

“To a certain extent, it gets complicated when it comes to set up, scale and manage infrastructure.”
PN

Phuc N.

Software Engineer

“The multiple versions of API and multiple possible format make it quite hard to get the correct one - mostly when a new release is out and user is pushed to use it - without proper support.”

Andrej B.

Solutions Architect

Cons

“What I dislike about Splunk Enterprise is the steep learning curve, especially for new users working with SPL, and performance tuning can require dedicated expertise.”
CC

Christine C.

Administrator

“Little bit difficult to overcome the budget with features of splunk.”
