Data Swiss Army Knife
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to ingest any sort of data. If you can work out where something you want lies in a stream of data, it can become a field. So literally anything you can get a response from becomes a data source.
What do you dislike about the product?
While you can get results really quickly in a new environment, it can take some practice until the penny drops and you can just write off a search without looking things up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All sorts, but chiefly operations.

Can get complicated with so many search queries

We use Splunk to search logs for email delivery problems, also to see what happened to various files from other programs.
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.
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.
