Splunk Enterprise Reviews - Page 4

We use Splunk to parse and catalog our system and audit logs for propiertary software we use in house. The file sizes are compact and the search is very thorough.

The interface is somewhat clunky and a little hard to navigate.

Splunk is a great way to teach tech folks about logging and how technology in the IOT world communicate. Indexing and parsing make reading code so simple and easy to identify faults.

Would be nice if there were different user roles so a novice would not be overwhelmed with so much at once.

The logging and monitoring aspect of Splunk and the ease of use.

The interface could be a little bit better.

Splunk can handle huge data set and grab specific information from a data set.

It is costly but it provides great value for the money.

They have a robust platform that I have used for monitoring and analytics. There are a lot of options and customization available when using it.

Because there is so much customization and options available, it can be complicated to learn.

What I most like about Splunk is that it assists me in creating dashboards for my teams and other teams to verify the validity of our incoming and outbound network traffic.

Learning the syntax searches about it seems to very difficult and there aren't really any training guides or help on their website that I've found that assist very well with it.

It is able to be expanded easily and quickly. It is polished and designed very well. Allows my team to inspect issues quickly and pull from many different sources in our enterprise.

Price is a bit high but you get that with Splunk. The good thing is that Splunk always is trying to be competitive so this may change.

Splunk has very strong query language event complex commands like Join, subquery or aggregate which much the same with SQL query with good report UI to display result. Set Splunk system is easy with install Splunk server and its agent in every node then configure logs location to collect. It provides many built-in Apps to collect logs from other popular tools such as AWS, Salesforce, Kafka...

Splunk query language is quite hard to learn for new user and its query error is too generic for troubleshooting.

Assurance tool for critical monitoring process

Missing helpers about configuring reports and queries

Ease of querying logs, user friendly front end, user can create automated alerts for receiving information on current state of the data

Sometimes, becomes slow when trying to query historical data

Best tool for application event trend analysis, Effective report of logs, Useful for new users , support analyst

To generate report need some automation. Has to write query using parameters, For end users it is difficult to configure.

Hadoop analysis is good for Fixed size dataset. Splunk product captures, indexes real-time data in a searchable repository from which it can generate graphs, reports, and visualizations which are very easy and helpful to understand the data.

I think there are no features which I do not like. I think during clustering I faced some problems thats it.

The ability to set up alerts and reports based on logs that come in from almost anywhere and anything in our network.

In can be a bit of a bear to get set up but that is the case with almost any enterprise level software like this.

GREAT ability to scale Good price Easy to set up

Can give more information than you know what to do with Learning curve

It can do a lot once you figure things out-- you can run a really professional software on this platform and make it look nice as well.

Super hard to get the hang of for a beginner. Don't use this if you've had no experience with computer software or coding before. Also, some of the products on the "free trial version" aren't available on Splunk Enterprise, which doesn't make sense, because Splunk Enterprise is more expensive?

There are TONS of capabilities. The software can handle a lot of data and is able to produce query results in a short amount of time.

The software is difficult to use (I didn't have to set it up) and the query structure and syntax is very clumsy and non-intuitive.

It is an excellent way to search for anything in your logs and even monitor them!

It requires some skills to configure it right, especially the distributed version.

Theres a certification path to using Splunk. Extremently easy to set up reports within minutes which add good value to the company. Reviewing data has been beneficial at both network and server level. Its made Devops lives easy in such a way that all teams can pull relevant information beneficial to them.

There are alternatives available which make Splunk a hard sell for organizations.

I think it's great tool to see the logs of your application with advance query search. Splunk support lots stat mechanism, also you can start multiple stats jobs on your location. It is just fabulous thing.

I have been using this for last one and half year but can say a single negative point of this too.

It dominates the industry in SIEM.... People would love to hate it... it's critical in terms of looking at your logs and seeing if something is not right and you have hackers or unwanted people on your system. It's the industry leader and has all the cool features.

The price.. it's expensive and you have vendor lock-in... All my clients hate it for the price, but love it for its features and leading R&D.

Very useful for combining log files from multiple sources and setting up predefined reports to check for errors.

Free version of splunk light doesn't allow automatic notification by email of log errors. However as I have paid nothing I can't complain too much!

I get daily reports with trending issues and potential bugs that allow me to quickly see what issues need to be addressed before they become problems. The aggregated data logging also allows me to get the additional data I need to identify the root causes of problems and share that with other team members

Sometimes it can be difficult to filter down to the level of data I need.

Verry handy usage Fast query and result scalable Big Data No SQL good community

License is at little bit too expensive. Professional Service at Europe is not very well stuffed.
