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

Jeremy P.

Vice President of Sales

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.”
