SPLUNK - Security Analyst Review
What do you like best about the product?
SPLUNK - I have been using this tool for quite a long time now, and it has been excellent. My current organization uses it for security logs analysis in which I feel is the best tool that anyone can use with all the quality segregated data that it provides and the in-depth log analysis. One can make a dashboard that can be easier to understand data. Can create automated alerts and reports based on the logs received. It helps in lots of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take a toll on the host machine on which it is running, so beware of the type of host you are using.
Familiarity with XML is necessary to create some great dashboard reports for clients.

Best Customisable Raw Data Capture Software
What do you like best about the product?
So simple for Splunk to capture all the data that runs on an enterprise's applications. Splunk acts as the repository to take this data and then gives us the opportunity to 'slice and dice the data' as we wish to generate reports, improve analysis, get a better handle on our business, improve productivity, improve business/market intelligence, react more quickly to trends, take decisions more proactively etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing at all. Splunk is a collusus, which we are learning more about all the time.

Best Money We've Ever Spent
What do you like best about the product?
We use Splunk to track transactions that flow through a dozen different service-based systems. Splunk allows us to follow the flow of these transactions and see the "trail" they follow as they pass through the various systems. Being able to aggregate and cross-reference data from all of our systems has been invaluable while troubleshooting problems in our systems.

Having cost based on the size of the index of data is the only thing that I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Splunk allows us to track transactions through our systems that would be almost impossible to do without it. The effort required to do these tasks by hand would make it completely unreasonable to attain.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complex when it is integrated with other tools. So, it is not best suited for large systems. It takes too much time to show the homepage and load significant features. I think there are some bugs that slow down the loading of features. Also, it is pretty expensive. The time and date editing range are somehow troublesome. The user interface is not much customizable as it is very tough to customize the design component.

One major benefit is that it quickly understands how the app behaves for various versions, users, hosts, and regions. It can ingest and store low latency data on a large scale.
