Collect and Analyze your Application Performance
What do you like best about the product?
The beautiful charts of your performance , logs or data. Perfectly indexed logs. While i say Perfectly indexed it means you can search any thing out of big data quite easily. For me that is the real power of Splunk.
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate its query interface. Its as powerful as advertised but not very easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to maintain logs (csv, xml and other) of about 200 applications. Manual searching requires a lot resources. But now we have shifted to splunk. We are inspired by its indexing power. Now searching from logs is quire easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect if you are looking for performance analysis or logs management.
Its free for some extend of resource you can check the limits. Try it and i bet you will find it really useful.

Splunk is a great product
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk is a great product. We have a enterprise license and have been using it from 4 years. Splunk has a great and easy to use user interface. We were able to build many dashboards which give lot of useful information. No need to login to various backend nodes to retrieve logs which are not in a readable format.Using splunk we can access any logging info regardless of which machine that data is stored in. We were able to identify many bugs and issues in our code before our clients saw it and many times before the code is delivered to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any major complaints about splunk.

Best tool for log management

Best tool to analyze the application logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need easier and intuitive way to dashboard.

We use Splunk to analyze the logs from more than 400 retail stores. It makes our life much more easy to analyze and alert us on any potential issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great Logging Product
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk makes it super easy to manage, query, and extract value business data from server logs
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a pretty steep learning curve when using the product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking server logs. Splunk provides a handy GUI and query language for performing this task
Great for aggregating systems information
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to identify trends within your environment. Once everything is aggregated it makes it easy for example, to see the knock on events of a network outage throughout the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web user interface is a bit clunky. Its very polished interface, but in many cases it's style over substance. When I'm debugging an issue I want to be able to drill down into the problem fast, and the shiny interface can be sluggish and slow you down.h
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily identifying trends between systems
Helps identifying problems

Splunk and Devops
What do you like best about the product?
I like splunk because it provides a searchable and well indexed storage of application logs, which is what we primarily use to debug production issues. Apart from this, there are several features I love: creating real time alerts in the case of erroneous behaviour, creating dashboards to monitor the release of a new feature, extracting csvs from a set of relevant log events. All this and more is much of what keeps our business running
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the error messages on unsuccessful jobs are too detailed for a user. If a job times out, it gives you a message which is a little difficult to understand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk helps us with real time alerting, application monitoring, feature monitoring.
It saves a lot of time in helping us find the root cause of production issues.
The huge range of splunk operators helps us create meaningful visuals to communicate with the business.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do go through the rich set of commands which will help you create wonderful insights into your application log data.
Works as advertised, but not easy or simple.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to create charts & alerts. Searching logs works nicely and you can find what you are looking for, assuming that you wrote your logs in a key-value manner which splunk can index efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the query language. I never found it intuitive. I felt it is reinventing the wheel, in a bad way. Also it is far from realtime when there is a lot of data. We have got to as much as 30 minutes delay in seeing the service is having a major problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudOn provided on-demand remote Microsoft Office to tablets and mobile phones, using a patented proprietary video compression protocol. The service was running on the cloud and logs were collected from all nodes and forwarded to Splunk.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will need to rewrite your logs in a way that Splunk likes to index, otherwise you will not be able to search it easily. We have seen it crashed a number of times under high load. You will need to have someone responsible for starting it back up and managing expiring licenses, disk-out-of-space problems etc.
Very positive experience.
What do you like best about the product?
The well designed Dashboards as well as the slick Web UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's more geared towards Sysadmins needs rather than being a more generic tool, for example, able to compete in the Web Analytics space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to define end-to-end Performance Analytics for all our apps.
