"An excellent log aggregation and searching tool"
4.5/5
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.

4/5
What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

In my experience working with the Splunk platform, it is highly regarded for its capabilities in its search and analysis. It allows integration logs from multiple services and analysis of data from various sources. It is not only in Analysis, but It is beneficial to create custom alerts for timely reminders for any crash apps or exceptions to catch. It also provides scalability options to handle the growing data volume managing services. Splunk alerts are handy for any organization for better-handling incidents; It has multiple configuration options like sending notification email, Pagerduty etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

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.
