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 and Cons
  • Latency Problems between the app containers and the databases
  • Log reading and identifying problems were exactly
  • Monitoring the high availability
  • 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
Splunk Enterprises is used for various types of monitoring across the organizations. It is used mainly for IT security in our IT companies. Splunk can collect data from various data sources and correlate them. It analyses data. We can also customise our dashboard according to our preferences. It is excellent when it comes to log collection and aggregation. It has the ability to ingest any type of data. Not only that, but it is a very fast and efficient application. Splunk is especially helping us in providing security, cross-device analysis, and collection of logs.
Pros and Cons
  • It provides IT security
  • Application monitoring
  • Collects data from various sources and correlates.
  • Analyses logs
  • It's too costly.
  • It is a bit complex, it takes time to be understood.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk is suitable for small to medium enterprises, and IT companies. Larger companies may find it a bit hectic as it is not capable of clustering, and data modelling. It is well suited in real-time monitoring

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am using Splunk Application Performance Monitoring to help identify our customer's application performance issues and root causes. Business use case: Our customer has an intermittent issue with transferring/uploading data in the MatterMost application. Scope: Our team was engaged in identifying where the problem is coming from and which layer of the application, such as database, application server, web server, network, operating system, cloud storage, etc., and fixing the issue.
Pros and Cons
  • Splunk Application Performance Monitoring integrated all layers of traffic and logs and gave a single panel of troubleshooting
  • Splunk Application Performance Monitoring help a lot to address layer 7 (Application layer) of network traffics
  • I wish Splunk Application Performance Monitoring could integrate with packet capture and analysis tools and provide the integrated analysis results on each tier of the application
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk Application Performance Monitoring integrated 360 degrees of logs and statistics results in minutes, which usually takes weeks of effort to produce.

There is a little learning curve to get up to speed on understanding how to use this tool to provide results if you are new to this. However, I highly suggest getting some training and getting the juice out of it. Once you learn, you cannot live without it!

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 and Cons
  • 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.
  • 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.
Usability

Overall a great tool to have in your toolbox, It is very intuitive and our entire staff uses the tool. It is easy to use and cost is very reasonable. Splunk also has excellent support team and very easy to work with. Every time we had a challenge, support team was able to help us with the end result.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
This Product is very helpful to monitor Microsoft , Oracle and and other OS-related alerts including the Audit logging
Pros and Cons
  • We get timely and restricted alerts in a daily and hourly basis
  • It help us to store the log history for 30-90 days
  • We don't have to worry anymore to store those logs on the local database servers
  • Sometimes the OS process takes lots of CPU and Memory. When we have to restart that Splunk process on those local hosts
  • More user friendly Web interface will be nice to have
  • a PDF format option will be good
Likelihood to Recommend
Database Alert logs, OS CPU, and Memory alerts are the areas where we get maximum benefits. We also monitor Application performance logs via Splunk
Usability

Now we have more visibility with our Alerts. We are also now able to share some of that information with the Business stakeholders where they can take some actions to remediate the issues at their end

Application monitoring our internal system for testing.
Pros and Cons
  • Monitoring of areas developed in various languages ​​is possible
  • Provides various APIs and easy-to-use methods
  • Provides the latest technology in application monitoring
  • Limitations of flexible dashboards and customization
  • Difficulty in root cause analysis
Likelihood to Recommend
In the event of a failure, it was difficult to find the exact cause due to insufficient data provision until finding the problem. It is a pity to provide a method to provide more app trace data. Is there a way to dynamically collect detailed app traces in my real-time environment?
Usability

Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM) was good in terms of usability that even beginners can use easily, and it was convenient because it could be easily applied to the operating environment. However, it is a pity that the cost part is burdensome and is only used as a demo. The licensing policy is so fragmented that there are good and bad points.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Splunk APM to monitor the bulk of our production clusters consisting of different AWS services - EKS, EC2, Lambdas, and many more. We have a NOC and production support team within my organization that uses Splunk APM for real-time issues analysis, root cause analysis and which is most important for real-time alerting of the issues that happen in production.
Pros and Cons
  • The ability to create many dashboard with dynamic metrics
  • The ability to use Explore function with map of components
  • Ability to create trend based alerts
  • Price model based on traces amount is not very user frendly
  • Save tags
  • Rendering components on Explore map performance with many components
Likelihood to Recommend
The best scenario is production monitoring, where we have a real-time dashboard with our NOC team monitoring trends and alerting the production support team and developers in case something is going sideways. For our staging monitoring, Splunk APM is too expensive, since with debug we have much more traces than in production.
Usability
10
The "Explore" map and the tracing analysis allows us not to look at independent component but to look at the full flow to see how each event flows thru the components, including the errors and performance analysis for latency between components, database queries, and their performance, including the different component APIs.
