Great Monitor Tool, Take it Slow

  • December 08, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am using Splunk now to monitor the logs from my backup server. The fact that it can import in logs from another host is great. The love the reporting for the logs as it provide an easy to use ad-hoc query which output a readable format for you to understand. You can actually go beyond logs and into monitor your network for spikes in processes and resources. What makes this unique is knowing which host and users are associated with the processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very confusing at first because there's so many tools and links. It's not simple so do read up before you tackle this product. This product costs a lot of money for what it delivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are looking for a platform to monitor our network usages from users and hosts. In addition, being able to import logs for a readable format. The application saves us time in research and allows me to focus on other tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a free version, but it's limited. You can decide to invest in this product. It's very expensive so keep that in mind.

Splunk Review

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A simple, flat process to index the data in their native format. This allows allows the platform to be highly scale-able; It can grow with the amount of data it is needed to process. The system can run in dynamic parallel to your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still have to read through many documentation to find the answers and at many times I can't find it. Not highly customized, would be helpful if they can provide more customization tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Realtime logging and alerts makes Splunk our primary notification system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A powerful tool, built lightly (doesn't require a DB) which will help in log collection, reporting and retention.

Great Data Analytics With a Bit of a Learning Curve

  • October 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The add-ons are the best. Some of the information and feedback that the add-ons are able to compile based on all the data that gets injected into Splunk is beyond awesome and very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
To start there is a pretty big learning curve in my opinion. The breakdowns in the left hand nav bar definitely helps. But slow to learning the search language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to correlate errors and find out what and where they are coming from has allowed us to solve alot of issues lightning fast
