3 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I work as an admin to support Splunk users with their application onboarding, and consultancy to provide the best solution for their use cases. Splunk is a monitoring tool that helps the user to create alert dashboards based on their logs. Splunk helps the user monitor their application and search in their log for failure and error. Splunk SPL is very strong and powerful.
Pros
  • Monitoring
  • Alerts
  • Dashboard
Cons
  • Price
  • Onprem application onboarding.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk can perform very well if we want to monitor the application and create an alert/dashboard based on that. But if we go for the price, it is very costly Apm tools. There is no url monitoring on splunk, so we want to monitor the url we have to go to any other apm tool that can do this task.

3 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Identify issues and deep dive when there is an issue. Also good to correlate the data between Splunk Core and Splunk 0lly. For the e2e view, it’s good to refer to the data sources onboarded and enable the correlation searches. Use Orel collectors to send metrics and traces, which could be populated to a dashboard.
Pros
  • Identify slowness.
  • Rca
  • Reduced MTTR.
  • Improve MTTI.
Cons
  • Documents.
  • Video
  • Custom metrics.
Likelihood to Recommend
Good for below cases 1. There is a front end and need to correlate data with front end data 2. multiple microservices and need to check the health of each system 3. correlate data from various sources 4. Application performance is a key to be captured 5. application performance is a key metric.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use it on a daily basis to monitor project performance, particularly for foreign clients in the EU, because it informs me of latency between containers and databases, allowing me to pinpoint the source of the problem.
Pros
  • Latency Problems between the app containers and the databases
  • Log reading and identifying problems were exactly
  • Monitoring the high availability
Cons
  • It looks good in everything
Likelihood to Recommend
Because it tells me about the latency between the containers and the databases, and I can pinpoint exactly where the problem is, I use it every day to monitor the performance of the projects, especially in the sophisticated projects, it helps but other agents don't like the high price per machine.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Use it to monitor day to day activities in order to eliminate bottle necks in our environment. We use the AI Driven analytics to reduce false alerts and discover root cause issues that slow our business processes down. The Dashboard gives insight to our application health and organization efficiency. We use the logs and user data to provide visibility across our entire environment.
Pros
  • Detect and Troubleshoot, which allows team to eliminate errors.
  • Dashboard creates a one stop location for environment health
  • Provides visibility, access to logs and user data real time.
Cons
  • Integration with other tools and internal dashboards
  • Develop alerts and capable SMS tools
  • Additional online training
Likelihood to Recommend
One area in which Splunk Application Performance Monitoring was able to help our organization was when we transitioned one of our applications to the cloud. It allowed our team to understand how different factors impacted our application once it was moved to the cloud. This visibility gave us some incite on changes that were required in order to make our application perform better.
