Splunk flavored Life Saver
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk allows me to quick diagnose problems and in most cases prevent them for going wide spread by pulling in logs from all of the sources in our development architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that it can be difficult to pull data in from a database, they make the DB Connect app, but it is does not work very well in our situation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our internal application stack. Splunk has reduced on call incidents and allowed us to spend more time being proactive than reactive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and you will never look back. We started using Splunk just monitor a server that kept crashing, now we are fully integrating Splunk into our DevOps flow. Splunk is the glue that holds it together.

Robust Search and Correlation Capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Splunk is the ease of setting up forwards and ingesting multiple sources of data from structured to unstructured. Splunk does a great job of correlating events and search capabilities are robust as long as you know the search commands. The ability to setup alerts is helpful and the out of the box filtering capabilities are useful for new analysts.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Splunk is the slight learning curve at the beginning. Once you get the hang of how to do searches, searching becomes second hand. The product is also pricey, but you do get your month's worth so there is value in this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problems we are trying to solve with Splunk Enterprise are event correlation and incident management. Splunk gives us the ability to search across multiple data sources from one easy to use interface. The benefit of this is that we no longer have to log in to multiple data sources to query relevant date relating to an incident. The robust search capabilities are the biggest benefit we have realized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For consistency, it would be helpful to deploy the forwarders via group policy or your software deployment tools. Splunk can also pull logs from systems as well. Make sure that you have enough space depending on how much data you wish to cache.

Group search results, get stack trace, detailed query string
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to remember the query parameters, long list of commands to remember
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To retrieve production errors and logs. Find bugs that are missed during dev and qa testing.
Splunk review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and check the logs on servers of different environments
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be more user friendly interface
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checking server logs for troubleshooting the problems. It’s very easy to check the logs on servers and troubleshoot based on them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must use software especially for developers
EASY HUH
I'll just say that nothing has been easy in getting this to work. I'm not sure what is so easy when I can't even seem to get it installed on a windows or mac.
Easy to read dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
My team mostly uses it to track lockouts for users. However we also use it for VPN connection metrics, tracking active directory user accounts, and various other types of reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does have a bit of a learning curve to it at first, such as accidentally connecting to the wrong dashboard can leave you feeling a little lost until you find you way back to the correct app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is initial helpdesk support, so we use it to find out what servers a users Active Directory account is locked out of, track the server, or track the MAC Address of a device that has locked them out of a radius server/wireless connection. It was a little inaccurate at first, but we have upgraded recently and now can fully track the mac addresses to reassure the user that yes, their phone is connecting to the wireless, and yes they need to fix that on their end.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just having the correct subscription would be extremely helpful to your company, otherwise there can be too many logins causing issues with the license. Other than that, it has great dashboards for network admins, and creating a smooth transition for troubleshooting at a beginner level.
