Real-time smart meters
Splunk is being using to track the status of electric utility smart meters which record customer energy usage. Smart meters send power outage & restoration notifications which we track in real-time with splunk. This capability is very important for enhancing our situational awareness to help ensure we deliver safe and reliable electricity to our customers.

Splunk Enterprise in the Cloud empowers me as an analyst
Splunk Enterprise is the basis for our log correlation and analysis. We're using it primarily for IT Security, and occasionally to assist with operations was helpful. It is the basis of our SIEM, Splunk Enterprise security. We pull in events from a wide variety of data sources. The ability of Splunk to ingest and normalize just about any sort of data is one of its strongest points.

Splunk leads the pack
Splunk is our one stop shop for all log data. We send logs from everything from servers, routers, firewalls, switches, sans and applications there to be analyzed and reviewed by different teams. This solves a critical issue by ensuring all teams are working from the same information. Prior to consolidating onto Splunk a number of different sources of truth leading different teams to work with different information.

One Splunk to rule them all!
Splunk Enterprise is used across the whole department in our organization for Security information
and event management. It improves our security aspect of the assets by collecting logs. Splunk offers log collection from all types of assets in the environment varying from vulnerability scanning tools to network devices. Centralizing all these logs and managing them from one place is the real deal. It manages huge amounts of log data with a robust operation. Every day our environment creates dozens of logs and Splunk enables us to
see anomalies with alarms.

Splunk Enterprise review
Currently our bank has different departments with their own Splunk infrastructure. We are currently building a larger infrastructure to incorporate all departments to join this centralized infrastructure with Splunk Enterprise. As Splunk is used for log analyzing, it is used for reports on different metrics built from logs collected from different servers. We try to consolidate the logs and put results onto a more centralized data center set as well.

Splunk Enterprise - Log collection & aggregation
Splunk was initially purchased to be our replacement for our syslog server, but it has grown into much much more and this is because of how easy it is to get logs into Splunk and the flexibility of what can be done with those logs.
We are now using it as a security tool, ingesting logs from lots of different sources and even our cloud platforms.
Currently it is just our IT team that use Splunk.

Won't you take me to Splunkytown
We're using Splunk Enterprise to assist us with IT Operations and IT Security. We came to look at Splunk because when I entered the company I found over 500 devices with no centralized logging in any way, no ability to pinpoint problems across the whole organization whether historic or predictable and things like this. Splunk is helping us deliver a predictable, robust operation of our infrastructure instead of reacting to problems and working to find just what was affected and when.
We believe we can apply Splunk to other data, in time, specifically aiding the company with analyzing financial information, but this is not yet an active project.

Excellent product for our cybersecurity team
Splunk Enterprise has been used by our Cybersecurity Department for almost five years to be the single dashboard for our Security Incident and Event Monitoring. On top of that, we are also using the Enterprise Security, and it helps us to focus on the most notable events that need to be followed up asap.

Splunk Enterprise: A powerful, but expensive tool
Splunk Enterprise is used as a repository for all our server and network infrastructure logs. This allows us to go to one place to review logs and potentially find a relationship between different systems with specific issues. For example, seeing failed login attempts to our switches and learning that a server was using old credentials.

Monitor log and alert quickly with the speed of Splunk Light
Splunk Light is being used by our Operational and Maintenance team for transaction logging and event monitoring. It was the right solution for our organization since our IT internal policy stipulates that any solution which interacts with our subscriber's activity data must be deployed on-premise. Moreover, since we only have a handful of O&M team, Splunk Light is a lot more convenient to deploy and manage.

Splunk is a single tool that does everything
We use Splunk to integrate all the logs for each of the applications. Building dashboards and alerts base on the logs by the Application team's requirement. The Application team will be able to search through their log from one centralized place rather than logging into multiple servers to try to define the issue manually. With the Splunk search language, it is very easy to look for possible errors within a certain time frame. Our organization also use Splunk for fraud investigation purpose. We have more than 100 application teams using Splunk today and most of them are using it for troubleshooting purposes when there is an issue that has occurred.

Using Splunk in Educational Sectors
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.

Splunk: The log expert
Splunk Enterprise is a brilliant tool that we use in the University of Colorado, Denver to analyze logs obtained from various sources. Our team is responsible for maintaining the security of our campus and the University of Colorado, Anschutz medical campus.
The log sources are typically firewall logs, email logs, logs from the Intrusion detection system (IDS), logs of different services running on the google cloud, etc. It offers a very easy interface and a query language. We can build our own alarm rule and UI within it for visualization. The rules will run at a time defined by the user and will send metrics to the email. It helped in automating blacklisting as now we can get the most troublesome IP addresses and block them in a minute. It also helped us in tracing a list of most vulnerable on the campus. The most powerful feature is the correlation of log sources. Correlation of log sources is a very taxing process for any software. Splunk handles this gracefully. By correlating firewall traffic, wireless and IDS traffic we once spotted a machine that had a trojan in it and was trying to spread itself laterally through open SMB ports.

Splunk, a great tool!
Splunk is being used by the entire organization for searching and reporting and to analyze the logs and entire organization’s data. Splunk is a great tool to work on. It helps in finding various threats inside and outside the organization. Five stars.
We installed Splunk Light to get our feet wet with centralized log management. The primary use was in our network and security department. Splunk Light allowed us to quickly and easily search across all of our device logs, as well as gave us the ability to correlate log entries between machines. It also helped us satisfy our compliance requirements for logging.
Splunk is an excellent logging platform, allowing for short and long term log storage with top tier indexing and searching capabilities. We have deployed Splunk to aggregate all logs and act as a central logging platform throughout the company. This helps us solve operational issues by providing a centralized log monitoring platform to be used by our operations group. It also helps solve regulatory issues by being the central logging platform with strict access controls as well as tiered storage and archiving capabilities.

Excellent tool for analyzing logs
Splunk Enterprise is used to monitor both Prod as well as all our lower environments. It is used for analyzing logs and tracing transactions. We write Splunk queries and create dashboards for monitoring several Key Performance Indicators. We first analyze metrics over a particular period of them to understand the trend and then set up alerts on these metrics for threshold violations.

a very good log handling and analysis tool
Splunk is not used across my organization. It is being used by some of us and for some specific task. And yes, it is also used by other departments as well but according to their need. Specifically, we are using this tool for monitoring the application logs and doing some analysis over it. Splunk provides a very easy way to search your logs and perform some basic analysis.

Splunk is great for troubleshooting
We use Splunk to catalog all incoming quote requests, booking requests and booking responses (effectively we catalog all successful transactions and errors). My team uses these logs to troubleshoot connections with our partners. We also use this to analyze the behavior of our customers to make sure they are operating as we expect them to. I use this tool every day, for several hours per day, to do my job.
