Responsive service and generally updates were good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not quite fully fledged as a database tool, or our version wasn't anyway. Sub-searches had a 10k limit, so that was occasionally a problem.

Mainly used to test the product beacons are working properly, and for any live events analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a straightforward front end which should be suitable for most purposes.
Splunk
What do you like best about the product?
Quick although it goes thru a ton of data. Once logs are pulled the info is easy to read and the query run is easily adjusted using the settings on the side.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to learn! So hard! I understand that businesses are different but man, I could have used a tutorial on even the basics!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to pull logs and data at a software company. Makes it easy to pull and share logs with other teams and even adjust the timeframe. Great tool when trying to determine potential issues in the software.
Powerful, Malleable, sometimes too complex
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly powerful, can handle the entirety of a large scale online business data indexing. Can dive into just about any error type and logs to debug whats going on in the business. Good looking dashboards to track statistics, admittedly underutilized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires nearly a specialty in the program itself, while it can do just about anything log and data related, it needs classes and instruction to be fully utilized. The query language can be a bit overbearing and needs a bit of time to get used to it. Doesn't get its full potential realized until expertise is obtained.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying and triggering of alerts for various error types and volumes. Investigation into incidents related to customer activity, server functionality, and various business situations. Can dig into just about anything done from the frontend to the backend data-wise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you/your company is utilizing or planning on utilizing Splunk, then I would highly recommend the Splunk training that is offered. It can be expensive, but if you want to get the the full Splunk experience it is highly recommended. Before any Splunk training, I was only using about 10% of its power. I would like to think I am up to 50% now.
Handy tool to spot errors in logs
What do you like best about the product?
The search query that uses wildcards , filters and time sorting
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you can't extract the full stack trace , or view the log file containing the error at the exact timestamp
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When a hosted customer reports an issue, I save time by not going through all the log files for each server, but I just look for a specific key word in spline to extract the exceptions
Splunk occasional user
What do you like best about the product?
The quality of data that stores within splunk and can be searched in so many different ways. It's the only way we can take very granular customer data and pull it to analyze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not user-friendly if you're non technical. You have to learn how to operate Splunk in the way it reads and that's not intuitive at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to keep track of customer data for a longer period of time and be able to store the massive amount of data that requires outside of our system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Large cost, it's worthwhile to make sure you need large amounts of data stored outside of your product/data warehouse and the cost/benefit analysis is worth that. Also need to make sure users at your company are aware of how to use this tool which requires some time and effort.
Splunk is very handy when it comes to tackling Production issues.
What do you like best about the product?
Its so intuitive and you can search based on so many different criterion, like request ID, hostname etc.
