Return on Investment

  • Ease of collecting IP for blacklisting.
  • Generation of metrics against compromised accounts based on location and time of the year. It helped in launching phishing education campaign before hitting the most vulnerable month of the year.
  • It helped in neutralizing vulnerable word-press sites across the campus, leading to the decrease of account compromise.

Return on Investment

  • Great for the smaller teams as one individual can easily find issues across multiple systems from one location.
  • The amount of time and manpower saved may not be enough to make up for the overall cost of Splunk Enterprise.
  • Less time required trying to locate specific issues from logs.

Return on Investment

  • There are a lot of positive impacts that Splunk had made, we have real-time exception alerting which is very useful
  • We have report generation out of the logs which again helped us in many ways.
  • The only negative thing I can say is that it requires good learning and that takes a long time

Return on Investment

  • The impact was tremendous in terms of dollar values. The real-time alerts generated helped salvage many business transactions which would have been a nightmare to deal with later.
  • Legacy reporting systems were decommissioned and reporting moved to Splunk which helped in saving maintenance costs.
  • The upfront expenditure is Splunk but whether that can be considered negative depends on the organization.

Return on Investment

  • Splunk has allowed us to reduce losses via fraud. We have actually be able to monetize how much money it has saved us. This alone has allowed the tool to pay for itself.
  • Splunk provides key machine data easily. This data is used for all sorts of processes throughout the company and is very valuable to other systems/departments.
  • Splunk has allowed us to closely monitoring and catch items before they impact our large customer facing applications. It is hard to quantify, but this has saved us money by keeping more customers happy.

Return on Investment

  • Awesome ROI for me. Again, while I don't use the software daily, when I do use it, it beats the pants off manually searching logs.
  • Allows me to provision less storage for logs on my servers, as I can have Splunk ingest and then archive/remove logs from those servers.
