What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

Having all of your logs in one place where you can easily run stats or analysis on them is invaluable. It also allows users access to logs they need without needing access to potentially sensitive systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

It is expensive as well as requiring quite powerful hardware to run (depending on the amount of log data you are ingesting). The trick is it becomes more and more useful the more data you put into it, but also more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Splunk Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Splunk solves a number of problems, including distributed access to logging, retiring legacy alerting systems (eg. Swatch), retiring legacy log aggregation systems (eg. syslog-ng), etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience working with the Splunk platform, it is highly regarded for its capabilities in its search and analysis.

Splunk has various components, and new developers find it hard to understand the configuration and search language(SPL), which can take more time and effort. Splunk search handles large amounts of data. Writing search queries is a little tricky as there are many unknown terminology. It is essential to go through some of the Splunk introductory tutorials.

What problems is Splunk Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of the problems it eased out for developers are - It allows quick filtering issues, integrating logs from multiple services, and analyzing data from various sources.
