Robust Search and Correlation Capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Splunk is the ease of setting up forwards and ingesting multiple sources of data from structured to unstructured. Splunk does a great job of correlating events and search capabilities are robust as long as you know the search commands. The ability to setup alerts is helpful and the out of the box filtering capabilities are useful for new analysts.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Splunk is the slight learning curve at the beginning. Once you get the hang of how to do searches, searching becomes second hand. The product is also pricey, but you do get your month's worth so there is value in this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problems we are trying to solve with Splunk Enterprise are event correlation and incident management. Splunk gives us the ability to search across multiple data sources from one easy to use interface. The benefit of this is that we no longer have to log in to multiple data sources to query relevant date relating to an incident. The robust search capabilities are the biggest benefit we have realized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For consistency, it would be helpful to deploy the forwarders via group policy or your software deployment tools. Splunk can also pull logs from systems as well. Make sure that you have enough space depending on how much data you wish to cache.

Great, but not amazing
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to build dashboards so we can test new notable alerts. The ability to set severity levels. We like the correlation events. Ability to ingest multiple indexes and create correlated searches, as opposed to just using a wildcard search. The dashboard layout is usefull and is very customizable. Integration via ES and other plugins allows us to spend time on one single pane of glass, do a pivot investigation and drill way down into the logs that were ingested. Metadata is easy to find, the logs are parsed neatly and are relatively easy to read once you get used to them. Training is also very good, and readily available online. Certification paths are also available
What do you dislike about the product?
The load on our search heads, some queries take forever. Sometimes we have great difficulty with getting other products to parse logs correctly into splunk. API issues occasionally. The lag in the UI when running a search. The community could use better visibility, a central repository for splunk queries would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting better visualization of threats in our environment via notable alerts. We are building out new automations and use cases for splunk on a weekly basis. Splunk is a primary intake for our analysts and we develop new notable alerts and use cases for our dashboards as well as continually tune and improve the information splunk is telling us.
