Well suited - for tracing errors based on the Alerts received and for calls stats report generation. Less appropriate- cannot think of a situation where it's not applicable.

There was an instance where we experienced infrastructure failure due to a service which was unknown in the beginning if it was not for splunk log observer it would have been a lot harder to pinpoint the issue.

Great for organizations that need to centralize different types of logging across integration, qa, sandbox and production environments. Would be less impactful for organizations that don't have complex logging needs.

Splunk Log Observer is well-suited to monitor logs and filter them according to the needs. It makes the debugging easier and faster. It is especially helpful because it doesn't require technical expertise to query the logs. Can be used by any engineer with no prior database query language skills. May not be ideal for cases if you are looking for advanced customisations without prior data knowledge.

The Splunk Log Observer is good for security monitoring as it provides real time dashboards and alerts. The logs analysis in Splunk is in a detailed manner which helps to investigate and understand the security incidents.

Splunk Log Observer is good for monitoring. If you don't have adequate logging in your code, Splunk doesn't help. So you need program skills/experience to make the most of Splunk.

It is suitable for fast debugging and providing support. It is not suitable if you need all time fast response time log observer. Because sometimes, during critical debugging, it becomes quite slow to get data.

Fixing, enhancing, and optimizing our program application has never been easier, but Splunk has improved it to the point where it now analyses our production projects in actuality and provides us with the elements and causes of any errors so that we can address them before they cause us permanent damage. Splunk Log Observer is one of the most expensive platforms, and it is best suited for a large organization with a more user base. This product is highly scalable due to its big data architecture. If you are a small/medium organization, this product may not be a good fit.

Splunk log Observer Review

Well suited scenarios:
Whenever we would like to monitor the infrastructure (small or big), this elastic search log observer provides the detailed view of logs at different levels and triggers the alert accordingly.
Less appropriate scenarios:
When a specific user privilege wants to see the logs only at one level (not deep dive), it does not provide that fine grained permission.
