Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk Enterprise has been used across University of Minnesota as one of our IT monitoring and alerting tools. This has been a big help for our user base to provide timed email alerts as well as monitoring all of the threshold parameters we set up. We have a dedicated admin to make sure the Splunk agents have been deployed and configured across all the client tools.
Pros
  • Timely alerting
  • Sharing with end users automatically
  • Less impact
Cons
  • Sometime we see the Splunk agent taking higher CPU from OS prospects
  • Similar issues have been noticed in Oracle Databases
Likelihood to Recommend
It is very easy to configure on Oracle Databases as well as on MSSQL/Window servers to monitor the pre-configured threshold.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk is being used across our whole organization. We try to have all/most of our logs get pulled into splunk to be able to use the splunk UI to search across information. We are able to give employees access to splunk and allow them to diagnose issues without giving them explicit access to production servers or other production locations.
Pros
  • Allow for separation of control where we don't let some employees have access to production but still can diagnose issues.
  • Common location to go for all logs even if the logs themselves aren't in the same place.
  • Ability to ingest logs from different locations without having to change the code to put logs in a certain place (pro and con).
Cons
  • At times some queries can run slowly if indices are not on a portion of the query you use.
  • Setup time initially can be difficult if your logs aren't stored in common locations or in a common way to write the log.
  • Ability to ingest logs from different locations without having to change code to put logs in a certain place (pro and con).
  • Searches can be a bit more difficult to look through if your log isn't pulled in a manner that is easy to read through splunk.
Likelihood to Recommend
Scenarios, where Splunk is well suited, would be a larger organization where multiple teams have their own logs and a web ops team is trying to come in and get a central location to be able to ingest and report on those logs

Scenarios, where Splunk wouldn't be as well suited, would be a small org where all their logs are in one place, easy to find and report on.

Splunk will make your job easier!!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently have evaluated and are deploying Splunk Enterprise to replace our older SIEM device. This will allow us to monitor our critical systems and allow for scalability as we continue to grow. Using this product has saved us time and money as it is used across our whole company's three locations. The flexibility and tools offered with Splunk make our jobs easier. Also, there are great forums and a cool wiki for best practices using Splunk.
Pros
  • Monitoring is made easy and putting out reports for upper management is a breeze.
  • With Splunk analytics we are better able to track our employees usage of systems for auditing purposes.
  • Checking on performance through Splunk's monitoring makes our management of resources a lot easier and resources are put where needed most.
Cons
  • Some of the start up in Splunk requires more than we would otherwise like.
  • We wish there was more customizable reporting.
  • Splunk sales engineers could be a bit more friendly and easier to work with.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk Enterprise meets all of our needs under one platform. The cost savings along without sacrificing functionality have made our choice to go with Splunk an easy decision. The functionality and cost savings alone have made upper management happy to deploy this system in our environment and the return on this investment has paid for itself.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Splunk is used in our enterprise to analyze monitoring and analytics data. We have thousands of micro services and APIs in our organization. All these APIs emit log data that is used to aggregate and analyze using Splunk. It also helps in end-to-end tracking of flows and data across services, in troubleshooting errors, and in generating metrics. Splunk is also used generating and configuring alerts.
Pros
  • Used for indexing and collecting machine data and log data from APIs.
  • This data is used to generate graphs, alerts, metrics that is useful to business, technology and operations.
  • It is data source agnostic and is used to log API, batch, db and log data. It runs on AWS for us.
Cons
  • The only con might be that it is much costlier than an open source system like ELK (Elastic Logstash Kibana).
Likelihood to Recommend
We use Splunk heavily for log data collection, indexing for analysis, and monitoring our APIs 24x7. It is very easy for developers to generate indexes on unstructured data and easy for operations folks to create graphs of this data.
