Amazon Cloudsearch can be suitable for some queries that require fast data. For example, in our case, we used CloudSearch, in a tool called Global Search. That will search everything like names, emails and a lot of stuff in our application. If you want fast data and you have a simple query, Global Search isn't appropriate for you.

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.

- Real-time + Scheduled alerts - i-e you can set up alerts which are actively monitoring your logs
- Pretty good response time for search results. With our key/value logging, Splunk makes it blazing fast to query the data.
- Dashboards provide insights into historical data
- Love how Splunk indexes all of the data and provides keys to search on

- At times some queries can run slowly if indices are not on a portion of the query you use.
- Setup time initially can be difficult if your logs aren't stored in common locations or in a common way to write the log.
- Ability to ingest logs from different locations without having to change code to put logs in a certain place (pro and con).
- Searches can be a bit more difficult to look through if your log isn't pulled in a manner that is easy to read through splunk.

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.

I didn't investigate the best alternatives to CloudSearch, but did help with implementing this feature in our application. But from what i tested and used - Cloudsearch is very fast to get queries. Some negative points can be the time to implement this and some configurations that can be tricky.

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.

- Overall very positive. It has provided visibility to what is going on within our network.
- One drawback is the time it takes to get up to speed with the application, but this is up to the user, and Splunk education is excellent.
- In my field, IT Security, there are few other friends to have in your back pocket better than Splunk. They are just that good.
