Splunk Enterprise Reviews - Page 5

1. Awesome data crawling and retrieval 2. Great search repository formed 3. Excellent visualization charts created 4. Graphs, dashboards, charts and various options supported aiding in effective business decisions

1. A bit expensive to use but worth it with the features it provides 2. Secure but analytics options can be further enhanced

There are tons of apps available in the marketplace and ability to collect many different log formats

Splunk is easy to start going but difficult to master with so many features. The query language has many analytical features that requires some learning curve

- Hugh library of add-ons that have been pre-built by others saves you significant time - Large community (and events like Splunk Live) to help and keep you engaged - Refined interface compared to some of the free competitors

- You'll like the tool so much that you'll want to throw all kinds of data into it and the cost will grow substantially! - Only pricing is by data volume, no options to pay by host, source, etc.

Complexity of queries to discover very specific correlations, date and time range accuracy, beautiful graphing capabilities

Can be extremely slow when searching over log dense applications, indexers can quickly get overwhelmed leading to missing data

Block security threats on endpoints. It enhances applications development.

The price is high but the results are remarkable.

Nice interface, and pretty easy to use once you get the hang it. In my experience its been pretty fast to pull up my searches even when there are thousands of results. It's a really powerful tool.

I've used it daily the past months and haven't come across anything I finding deterring. Getting connected is sometimes a pain, but I think that's on my end haha.

you can import all the data without parsing it.

I never thought it. Almost all features look good. The disadvantage of the high price.

Very easy GUI that can be familiar just in a few days, Gathering data in simple stepts makes everything much easier.

The docs about the product sometimes are confusing, and to learn more on google is harder because there is not much material like for example cisco, palo alto, etc.

I liked the interface, we were able to setup some addons for vmware and cisco ISE. We primarily used it for tracking where bad password attempts were coming from.

The pricing is pretty darn steep. My company pays by volume of ingestion by gigabyte and that can add up pretty quickly.

Makes it easy to identify trends within your environment. Once everything is aggregated it makes it easy for example, to see the knock on events of a network outage throughout the environment.

Web user interface is a bit clunky. Its very polished interface, but in many cases it's style over substance. When I'm debugging an issue I want to be able to drill down into the problem fast, and the shiny interface can be sluggish and slow you down.h

The time to delivery from data to analytic dashboard for IT and for business

The fact that it's time-series data oriented and that is not a general purpose application

Nice, user understandable graphs. You can analyze system logs using Splunk to identify issues with the system. It is also used to identify patterns in the performance.

Can not run offline. Does not provide results via email. Need the training to get expert writing search strings using regular expressions. Large queries are a bit slow.

It allows me to seamlessly collect and visualize all my data. Provides a greater level of insights which were not visible in custom solutions before using Splunk

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to understand all the feature sets, it is not so clearly defined, it might help to have the documentation handy before using.

I really like the overall feel of Splunk, it integrates with many other products very well. Even has independent add-ons for Cisco and Microsoft Products.

Pricing of Spunk can get very expensive. I have experience with the windows version of splunk and sometimes it can be difficult to troubleshoot.

Splunk is great for visualizing any application data that we need, and the custom dashboards feature makes it easy to have related reports and queries all in one place.

I've been using Splunk for a while, and I still find the query process a bit difficult. For non-technical people, there is a steep learning curve.

Splunk makes it easy to troubleshooting client connectivity. It also helps me understand if a client is continually roaming to other APs.

I wish that it was a little more cost effective. In some ways, Splunk has so many options that it can be confusing to know how to get the information you're looking for.

Great application for log collection and correlation of the logs, easy for searching and working with. Support is more user based and support is helpful for issues.

Not the full product, due to being free. Can be confusing if you don't use the free training offered from Splunk.

It's a very good tool to analyze real-time data. It also generates graphs, reports, visualizations based on the data. Product is easy to use and understand. Installation is also not that difficult.

As a student I think price is high, but I think value for money is good.

- Ability to search logs across processes and services - Ability to develop dashboards to Monitor critical metrics - Ability to set up alerts based on threshold values

- Need to regex well in order to use the tool to its full ability - Ability to extract values out of the log statements could be simpler - Alerts usually end up being over alerting or false alerts.

Its ability to process large chunks of data and transform the data to information of interest.

Its regex builder for field extraction needs improvement.

I really liked how easy splunk made it to search vast amounts of data in a short amount of time. The dashboards were pretty useful as well.

Splunk is very expensive to deploy on premise. This can be a limiting factor for customers that do not want to host sensitive data in the cloud.

The product installation is simple and easy to understand. The configuration of this product for a multi-node cluster is intuitive and easy to learn. Automatic suggestions popup while filtering over indexed data.

In case of analytics, there should be at least 2000 entries.

Splunk gives data analytics on the application usage. And it is great tool to monitor software applications
