We used this first but are considering moving away due to log space limitations because of cost.

Splunk Enterprise in the Cloud empowers me as an analyst
We had an old version of QRadar before Splunk. It was difficult to customize and difficult to pull in our data sources. It wound up being neglected and not providing value for us as an institution. We have also looked into other things like AlienVault but in general, the customizability to pull in things like an Oracle audit trail or nonstandard multiline SSO logs have been much easier in Splunk, if in fact, it was possible on other platforms.

Robust IT Operations and SIEM Management Solution
More features and easy to manage once configured and setup correctly. Stronger correlation engine compared to other products. Easily integrates with ServiceNow for ticket creation, automation, and building workflows. Helps in AiOPS more, as compared to other tools. Provides anomaly detection with powerful machine learning capabilities across various metrics.

Great for almost anything
Splunk is all inclusive, you don't need 3 products to do what Splunk did 4 previous major versions.
LogRhythm is a great SIEM Tool. But Splunk Enterprise is so much more than that. [It's] a Security Analytics Tool with no limitation. It depends on [organization's] size, budget[,] and also what exactly they are looking for.

Splunk leads the pack
We reviewed a number of different platforms and found Splunk to be the more mature product across the board. Splunk is the market leader and the rest of the industry chances them. We needed a platform from a company with the resources to continue development and meet new ever changing regulatory requirements.

Splunk Enterprise review
Splunk is a better solution for log analyzing based on the complexity of data it can collect, analyze and store. Dynatrace is just in the beginning stage of collecting logs but this tool is good for user application monitoring. So they are different products and it may not be fair to go for an apple to apple comparison. That's why our bank is using both for a strong end to end monitoring solution.

Splunk Enterprise - Log collection & aggregation
We originally used Kiwi Syslog but this was not able to keep up with the level of logs that were being sent to it. Also Kiwi does not allow you to search through logs, create alerts, etc. or any of the other features Splunk has. It is purely just a web GUI for syslog.

Excellent product for our cybersecurity team
All the logs from those security devices or systems are pumping to the Splunk Enterprise and being correlated by the Enterprise Security. However, there are some difficulties in tuning the Data Model, which results in a lot of false positive. This could occur due to the lack of technical skills our team has. To compensate that we are planning to engage with the Splunk Professional Service to fix the issue.

Splunk Enterprise: A powerful, but expensive tool
The Solarwinds SIEM solutions are much more bare-bones and don't offer as many features as Splunk Enterprise. Still, they are also infinitely more affordable and provide precisely what's required for small to medium environments. Implementation is straight forward even for larger environments, and technical support is decent if issues. Overall it comes down to price. For an organization of 100 people, it's hard to recommend Splunk Enterprise when they can use a Solarwinds solution that falls under budget.

Monitor log and alert quickly with the speed of Splunk Light
Splunk Light is lighter and less flexible compared to Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise. However, it is also the most effective option for new or small organizations with a tight budget. Both Splunk Light and Splunk Enterprise are deployed on-premise while Splunk Cloud, as the name suggests, deployed on-cloud. In terms of Scalability and flexibility, Splunk Light also trailing at the last place, compared to Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud.

Splunk is a single tool that does everything
Splunk is easier to setup compare to ELK. It has better support, well-documented information plus the Splunk database which has an addon that built by them or the other users to help to improve the experience with Splunk. However, ELK is open-source and it is free. At the end of the day, they are doing similar things. However, with the help of different addons from Splunk database, it saves you more time on configurations by yourself.

Splunk: The log expert
Splunk is a very useful, lightweight and simple tool to analyze logs. As a computer science student who loves coding, it is much more convenient to use. I can build custom queries for myself or a subset of the users. The language is much simpler than SQL and is much faster as well for large amounts of data. It is highly scalable and with a customizable dashboard, it becomes even more useful than LogRhythm which is not that flexible.

A real-time monitoring system
Splunk Enterprise stores and captures more detailed customer logs. Also, we can build search including back-end information.

- Logger (formerly HPE Arcsight Logger), Arcsight Enterprise Security Manager (formerly HP Arcsight) and ArcSight Investigate
Splunk is the most intelligent tool I have ever worked on. It gives you hands-on experience on how logs actually look like. You can go through entire organization data at once using this tool. Also, by the use of data models, it's become so easy to use and work on.
We selected Splunk Light because people in our company had previous experience with it, the solution appeared to check all of our boxes, and the support structure gave Splunk a significant edge over open source solutions like the ELK stack.

Splunk is great for troubleshooting
I have not used anything else like Splunk.
Splunk Light was easy to install, has great support from the vendor, and great community support. Other logging solutions did not have these benefits when we were looking to buy Splunk. They were cheaper, but Splunk seemed to be the gold standard in log repository and indexing. Splunk Light was a perfect fit for what we needed.
