Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk is available to all our teams, and usage is spreading. My team uses it for all the applications we manage, and it lets us log all user events in our mobile application and backend services. The reports it enables also really help with visibility and monitoring. For example, we were able to create a dashboard showing the average amount of time it takes to get through a particular flow in the app, the number of units processed per day in our app, error rates, and a lot more.
Pros
  • Powerful query language.
  • Very fast search indexing.
  • Intuitive UI.
Cons
  • The query language is well-documented but has a bit of a learning curve.
  • I wish copy/pasting JSON from the logs were easier without going to the completely raw (condensed) form.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk is great for logging and aggregating information across many sources. We are able to attach unique ids to the requests from our mobile app and trace their execution through our backend services. It is also very powerful for creating dashboards and other insights based on our log data. I would even use it for just a single application, just for the search capabilities.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk Cloud is used to provide quick and easy access to important data. This includes metrics about their business, the use of our services, revenue, and errors. Several departments throughout the organization use the data and dashboards available in Splunk.
Pros
  • Excellent dashboards that provide a quick view of important data.
  • Easy to create dashboards.
  • Filtering within the dashboards provides updated dashboards quickly.
  • Exporting is easy.
Cons
  • While the dashboards are intuitive, setting them up isn't always as easy. A more intuitive interface would help ensure all users can easily set up dashboards to get the information they need.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you want to see the data instead of dig for it, Splunk is helpful for providing the visualizations that speak to the data.

Splunk Cloud
2 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk Cloud is being used by our own department. We use it mainly to aggregate logs and metrics. We also create different dashboards to display our service running status.

Since we have multiple environments, it's very convenient to stream all logs/metrics into Splunk Cloud, and see them from one centralized place.
Pros
  • Display log events in a very nice way for humans to read
  • Very easy and powerful to create dashboards
  • Very fast and reliable
Cons
  • Since it's a managed cloud service, it doesn't offer the capability to edit the config files directly. So if the web UI doesn't support something, we can't change it.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk Cloud is good for application monitoring/alerting, data analysis and root cause analysis. For organizations that would like use Splunk but do not want to hire someone to operate or maintain it, this is the best solution.

From a cost perspective, it's not the cheapest one in the market.

A solid security and monitoring tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Splunk for a part of the business. More specifically, for the less critical machines. For the critical ones, we have a big SIEM with limited licenses. Having Splunk for the rest of the environment does save some money, and they do not need the same management as the critical ones.
Pros
  • Ease of use.
  • There is not a big learning curve.
Cons
  • It could be cheaper.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk Cloud is easy to use for having a central Security and monitoring solution. It does not have a huge learning curve, though you should spend some time to learn the basics.

Heavy Hitter SIEM!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Splunk to centralize and consume all of our server logs, and various other logs, to monitor for interruptions in service, anomalous activity, and other security-related events. Splunk is primarily used by our DevOps and Security teams. Splunk solved an issue of being able to easily and effectively search hundreds of thousands of log entries in an easy to consume format.
Pros
  • Splunk is extremely versatile and can consume just about any kind of log out there.
  • Splunk's search function is very powerful, and allows for some very complex search criteria. Narrowing and/or expanding search results is as simple as a click of the mouse.
  • There are many different apps/plugins that can be added to Splunk that provide built-in reporting and alerting on certain kinds of events, meaning you don't have to be an expert to use Splunk.
Cons
  • There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to initially use it.
  • When SAML is set up, there is no apparent way to log out.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk is not cheap, so Splunk only makes sense for businesses where there are hundreds of thousands of logs a minute, or where manual processes or open source alternatives can't keep up. You will need to have a dedicated person or two in order to configure and manage Splunk on a very regular business, otherwise, you won't be able to reap the full benefits that Splunk can offer.
