We used this first but are considering moving away due to log space limitations because of cost.

Data remains On-Prem and doesn't need encryption as in case of Cloud
We had an old version of QRadar before Splunk. It was difficult to customize and difficult to pull in our data sources. It wound up being neglected and not providing value for us as an institution. We have also looked into other things like AlienVault but in general, the …

LogRhythm is a great SIEM Tool. But Splunk Enterprise is so much more than that. [It's] a Security Analytics Tool with no limitation. It depends on [organization's] size, budget[,] and also what exactly they are looking for.
We reviewed a number of different platforms and found Splunk to be the more mature product across the board. Splunk is the market leader and the rest of the industry chances them. We needed a platform from a company with the resources to continue development and meet new …
Splunk is a better solution for log analyzing based on the complexity of data it can collect, analyze and store. Dynatrace is just in the beginning stage of collecting logs but this tool is good for user application monitoring. So they are different products and it may not be …
We originally used Kiwi Syslog but this was not able to keep up with the level of logs that were being sent to it. Also Kiwi does not allow you to search through logs, create alerts, etc. or any of the other features Splunk has. It is purely just a web GUI for syslog.
All the logs from those security devices or systems are pumping to the Splunk Enterprise and being correlated by the Enterprise Security. However, there are some difficulties in tuning the Data Model, which results in a lot of false positive. This could occur due to the lack of …
The Solarwinds SIEM solutions are much more bare-bones and don't offer as many features as Splunk Enterprise. Still, they are also infinitely more affordable and provide precisely what's required for small to medium environments. Implementation is straight forward even for …
Splunk Light is lighter and less flexible compared to Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise. However, it is also the most effective option for new or small organizations with a tight budget. Both Splunk Light and Splunk Enterprise are deployed on-premise while Splunk Cloud, as the …
Splunk is easier to setup compare to ELK. It has better support, well-documented information plus the Splunk database which has an addon that built by them or the other users to help to improve the experience with Splunk. However, ELK is open-source and it is free. At the end …
Splunk is a very useful, lightweight and simple tool to analyze logs. As a computer science student who loves coding, it is much more convenient to use. I can build custom queries for myself or a subset of the users. The language is much simpler than SQL and is much faster as …
Splunk is the most intelligent tool I have ever worked on. It gives you hands-on experience on how logs actually look like. You can go through entire organization data at once using this tool. Also, by the use of data models, it's become so easy to use and work on.

We selected Splunk Light because people in our company had previous experience with it, the solution appeared to check all of our boxes, and the support structure gave Splunk a significant edge over open source solutions like the ELK stack.
Both Logstash and Greylog are open-source solutions that provide similar capabilities to Splunk. They are excellent products in their own right but tend to follow versus lead. Splunk is definitely a leader in the field.
We are using this because it has lots of advantage over others. And it seems to be a good fit for us. Splunk provides lot more features than others and its UI is user-friendly, so for a new developer, it would not be too difficult to use it and do something around it.
Splunk Light was easy to install, has great support from the vendor, and great community support. Other logging solutions did not have these benefits when we were looking to buy Splunk. They were cheaper, but Splunk seemed to be the gold standard in log repository and indexing. …
Pros: Splunk is very well suited if you have multiple log sources of related data. All of them can be correlated and tasks can be automated based on the requirement. Other than alerts, Splunk can also run a specific script of your choice, based on some defined conditions. Cons: If you have a few logs but a large number of log sources, Splunk can be very expensive.
We are using Splunk extensively in our projects and we have recently upgraded to Splunk version 6.0 which is quite efficient and giving expected results. We keep track of updates and new features Splunk introduces periodically and try to introduce those features in our day to day activities for improvement in our reporting system and other tasks.
You can literally throw in a single word into Splunk and it will pull back all instances of that word across all of your logs for the time span you select (provided you have permission to see that data). We have several users who have taken a few of the free courses from Splunk that are able to pull data out of it everyday with little help at all.
Splunk maintains a well resourced support system that has been consistent since we purchased the product. They help out in a timely manner and provide expert level information as needed. We typically open cases online and communicate when possible via e-mail and are able to resolve most issues with that method.
The online course was simple clear and described the main capabilities of the solution. There is also an initial module that can be done for free so anyone can familiarize themselves with the functionality of this solution. On the other hand, however, there could be more free online courses. Maybe even with a certificate, this would broaden the group of people who are familiar with the platform while increasing familiarity with the solution itself.
I wanted to learn a new language that I can quickly master and implement. Splunk is easy, fun to use and best of all, it can be developed in hours not days or weeks. Splunk is fundamentally a programming language that is minimal but yet powerful enough to collect, analyze and visualize data.
