"With splunk enterprise we quickly detect the drawbacks"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

It has an alert system that warns us in real time of any vulnerability in the system, any funnel or any error and in this way we can solve it quickly. It also allows the easy creation of custom work panels and customize the platform interface to work and have at hand, the tools we use the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

It can have a high learning curve, even for educated employees, so time is required for training. I wish that some basic functions could work without the need for internet access, no doubt my work would be faster. From the installation of the software to its use, it is a long process, because to configure it is confusing and sometimes we need the help of technical staff.

"Searching tool- Splunk"

I don't see any drawback expect the point that for some system is it able to display data for only 3 months or few months data. Apart from this cost is something which I would consider goes higer if we are accessing large data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
