Traipsing through data.
We use Splunk Log Observer to detect trends and to help solve problems if/when they occur. It also helps us with scheduling changes and maintenance based on load.
- Handles big data.
- Enables detailed search with queries.
- Gives a visual as well as detailed information.
- The query language isn't intuitive.
- None in particular.
- Splunk is a part in our toolbox and helpful that way.
- Not directly.
I had not considered other products because Splunk Log Observer was in use in my company before I started working there.

Splunk Report.
I used Splunk Log Observer for checking logs and debugging the development and production environment. I extensively used Splunk Log Observer alert, which helped me and my team to know if anything went wrong or unexpectedly broke the code with Exception. It is quite useful for debugging and involving team members to get alert and work towards that. We built the dashboard also using Splunk logs on Splunk Log Observer to ease debugging. But one business problem we used to face quite often with Splunk Log Observer with its response time. Sometimes, it used to become so slow to use. After escalating the problem with the Splunk team, it used to get fixed on half day time frame or sometimes full day time they used to take to fix the problem.
- Easy debugging.
- Dashboard support.
- Can be extended to different AZ and environment easily.
- Query based on different fields and timing.
- Improvement in response time.
- Quick resolve by Splunk in case of any issue.
- Some improvement on UI.
- Time zone based data search on timing params.
- Query
- Splunk Dashboard.
- Alert & Notification.
- Different AZ's and env support.
- Quite positive if time works well and give logs on time.
- Negative when it becomes slow in critical timing. It impacts the business as it takes more time to get the root cause of undesirable output from code.
We believe that it's less vulnerable to security aspects as compared to others.

- Business Insights (this is a feature not usually implemented).
- Infrastructure monitoring.
- Service chain monitoring.
- Security monitoring.
- The possibility to have in one console information from etherogenous systems
- Turn key features to monitor infrastructures and services through the Service chain monitoring
- The customers can have views specialized for different levels (analysts, operators, managers, executives, etc...)
- They can have one console to have information from many heterogeneous data sources.
Splunk requires less work for data in gestion and parsing. Splunk has more efficient data display features.

Yes
Data ingestion and normalization. Service Chains definition. Use Cases Analysis. Existing Correlation Searches analysis and activation. Correlation Searches customization or design and development.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
Mainly ITSI or other implementations map the existing organizations and try to adapt to them.
- First, implementation wasn't so easy because it required a deep knowledge of the features, then they were easier.
We are skilled in our activities, but sometimes we use it for a certification requested by some customers. And they were very professional.
No
Our first implementation of ITSI was supported by Splunk Professional Services: they were ready to analyze the situation, and they shared their competencies with us.
- Service chain.
- Drilldown features from aggregated data to analytic views.
- It isn't so easy to customize, it requires a deep knowledge.

Splunk Log Observer : Easy to use log management tool.
We utilized Splunk Log Observer to handle technical operations for our production on-premise data centers and cloud instances. We switched to this product since our company needed a solution that allowed for real-time system monitoring. Our overall experience with this product has been incredibly positive.
- User-friendly interface.
- Real-time system monitoring.
- Customized Dashboard for different use cases.
- Limited API functionality.
- Cloud version Splunk does not offer integration compared to that of the on-premise one.
- Dashboard
- Extensive search options thru its own language called Splunk processing language (SPL).
- Scalability
- Significantly reduced the MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery), which in turn has improved the end-user experience tremendously.
- Meets compliance requirements of security policies, audit, regulation, and forensics.
- Helps us to track/manage the resource usage on our cloud instances which has a direct implication on the recurring cost.
Sumologic.
