The tooling included in base Splunk, plus the broad community supplying pre-built extensions to common data needs, greatly reduce time to detection on problems and make tracing root cause issues much easier than any other tool I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Management of the software can be complex, as it is a complex tool. Buying professional services for initial configuration and any major changes (e.g. moving to a clustered environment) is frankly necessary unless you have someone on staff who has already managed a deployment previously.

The biggest complaint I hear is 2-fold: It's expensive and it's hard to learn. Both of these are true, but opposed to some competitors, this is just more baked and better. The cost can be justified and it's a leader in various vendor rubrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?
To get the most out of the app a lot of people with different skill sets need to be involved and with the same goal in mind, for example, the observability engineers are the ones in charge of the maintenance and setup of the Splunk platform and data, while the backend engineers are the ones that implement the logs caught by Splunk. The frontend engineers need to look into the available logs and see what information from there is useful to create a dashboard that can be used for ourselves or for the product owners.

Splunk is very robust with being able to search network traffic, create dashboards and automate reports and alerts. It allows users and admins to solve many problems. Our company has created several alerts for when people on the network download any files that look like they could be a virus, or if they are using illegal software, or trying to login with wrong passwords constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
There is a large learning curve to being able to use Splunk and be able to understand what the data you're looking at filter through it all to find what you need. It's very good if you know what you're doing, which there is documentation for, but if you don't have lots of networking experience and knowledge it's easy to be lost and overwhelmed.

Splunk makes it easier to search through various data including logs. I was used to fetch the details through logs in order to find the one lines among the 100 of thousands of lines. Now it become as easy as ABC also the infrastructure monitoring is cool. We have integrated this with Slack to get the alerts real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a needed application for the IT organization to manage their infrastructure which consist of physical computer devices, web servers (cloud), sensors, etc. Manage means, centralized monitoring and analyzing. In the past we used Splunk for only log monitoring and log analyzing (syslog server). But, what we are seeing is more advance and it is with the SIEM capabilities. It now have real-time visibility, advanced dashboards, analyze any kind of data, advance filtering, flexible GUI in configuration & maintenance, and AI & Machine Learning for threat prediction.
Finally, it is very user friendly. We can modify the dashboard, log search queries, filters, alert/alarm rule, threat filters, and configure with multiple devices easier and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It has multiple features and when we are trying to use all of them it is slow in displaying the contents (logs) and the connectivity also taking some amount of time for the initial loading.
Cost is another, as a organization we have to spend more cost on buying the license and configuration.
Without experience (new to splunk), it is hard to understand all within a short time if the architecture is complex. It consume log implementation time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the best tool to analyze the logs based on different charts and visual graphs. It has good plugins to help with security and auditing. I have created multiple dashboard and customized alerts to monitor system health. It has great integrations with slack and emails to trigger alerts and notifications.

What do you dislike?
As we have big infrastructure and a lot of logs gets consumed in splunk on daily basis, the user interface becomes slow for query search results. Splunk query builder needs technical knowledge beforehand otherwise understanding error message for a non technical person is a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed that Splunk had all details for transactions; i.e. time, date, processor, exp date, PII, how & where the transaction was processed, device ID, etc. It also shows the initially authorized dollar amount of the transaction and if it was captured for a different amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Splunk can be very complicated to navigate and use for identifying a particular transaction. I often had to ask someone for assistance when attempting to search for something in particular or to understand fully what I was reading. There's definitely an overload of data and you can get lost looking for one or a few transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?
Inspite of being an amazing giant for data capturing and analysis, I dislike its capability to support IPv6 only infrastructure. Also they have no roadmap yet to go towards supporting it.

Splunk has many features since I'm using it as its very useful while accessing analytics report of specified time period for specific type of pattern which insists in your server log. Very useful while extracting request and response log in block of XML's.
