Excellent tool for analyzing logs
- Splunk log analysis helped us understand backend error much better than ever and improved number of errors/ week significantly after resolving those.
- Charting vendor calls/service helped us understanding default looping/logic which in turn reduce vendor calls and vendor bill/call.
- Splunk alerting on system resources helped us take necessary actions to tackle the traffic under heavy load condition without impacting user experience.

a very good log handling and analysis tool
- 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

Splunk is great for troubleshooting
- Splunk has decreased the amount of time we spend looking for things to fix in other places.
- so far no negative effects
- Splunk Light has had a positive impact on our overall business objective of having a central log repository.
- Splunk Light is able to help us hunt down the reasons for account lock outs and has thus had a positive impact on time to resolution of helpdesk issues.
- Splunk Light had a positive impact on reporting and showing our auditor specific events he was looking for.

Monitor your monitors...
- It has been helping with alerting on certain attacks on site and monitoring server health.
- It slows down during high traffic volume days - ( major 5 days of the year )

Splunk for log collection, indexing, analysis & dashboarding
- Splunk has been used as a one-stop-shop for log collection, indexing, alerting, analytics and dashboarding
- Splunk is a costly software however ROI on our engineering and operations is huge.
- Negative could only be its high licensing costs. It might not be a viable option for all companies.

We've tried the rest and now we're back on Splunk!
- Dashboarding allows us to immediately get value without having to have a query to find things in logs.
- Allows us to troubleshoot bugs faster.
- Having everyone have access to certain indexes is less of a headache for it to manage.
- 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.
- 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.

Splunk it!
- The intrusion detection with the real-time alert has been a huge positive impact.
- Log search has helped us in tracking certain internal issues.
- Dashboards for quick glance to show the upper management has saved us time on explaining where more protection is needed.

Splunk is a great tool for helping make sense of logs
- 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.

Splunk Enterprise Review
- We make each user group pay for the data that their systems index. We have not had any negative reactions indicating that the tool doesn't meet their needs

Splunk Review
- Saves on the engineering cost of building an inhouse logging system
December 01, 2017
My Dive into using Splunk
- Splunk has allowed developers to diagnose production issues when access of control was taken away from them to be allowed to view items in production environments and I believe that is invaluable.
- At times some developers weren't super happy about using it, but it was more of the fact that they were used to having production access and not creating their splunk queries to get information.
- Going one place to view logs was very beneficial to have.

Splunk will make your job easier!!
- By going with Splunk we have reduced our overall costs on security without sacrificing and functionality.
- The return on this investment has paid for itself with the ability to customize reporting.
- Support for security has been reduced by having more people able to monitor systems without dedicating their full time to one task.

Splunk for new users
- I don't have any numbers to share but Splunk has positively served as a 24/7 monitoring tool that has saved hours of work by self-detecting, saving statistics and alerting problems in the system or from external interfaces as soon as they happen.
- Splunk dashboards does a solid job in collecting, analyzing data and creating reports that contain an entire day's activity and then automatically sent out to the business.
- Splunk is very easy to learn and very useful to any program or business application.

Splunk in a production environment is a must-have today
- Avoidance of risks in the production line is hard to translate to money. But the department managers know that this tool helps to mitigate risks. And the team grows.
- After several Proof of Concept mini-projects, Splunk was finally approved as a regular company application: We are now able to link it to live data, not only to use logs. The data science team has grown to four people and we are ready to move from incident localization and fixing to process optimization, proactive monitoring and alerting, finding trends and relationships (what precedes what).
- Overall very positive. It has provided visibility to what is going on within our network.
- One drawback is the time it takes to get up to speed with the application, but this is up to the user, and Splunk education is excellent.
- In my field, IT Security, there are few other friends to have in your back pocket better than Splunk. They are just that good.

Splunk running strong

December 14, 2015
If you must analyze a ton of data then Splunk is your solution.
- I'm not a data analyst so I can not provide concrete examples on how the business has benefited from implementing Splunk. However, the analysts I have worked with have provided a wealth of support in reducing workstation issues across the enterprise. This alone reduces the time it takes to determine where the exact problem lies between a workstation and the servers it tries to communicate with.
