Overall Satisfaction with Splunk
I currently use Splunk to extract user activity on both the front and back end of information systems.
- The querying speed is relatively fast. Of course the complexity of your query can affect how quickly it returns results, however, mine are fairly complex and I haven't had any issues.
- The query language allows for the ability to extract exactly what you are looking for.
- The ability to set up alerts is great for increased visibility and monitoring of your data.
- Splunk provides to the ability to create nice looking dashboards but the dashboards lack dynamic filtering. It would be nice if all the charts within a single dashboard filtered bases on selections within each chart.
- Better ability to identify, investigate, and produce reports regarding compliance incidents.
- Adobe Workbench (i.e. Insight)
Adobe Workbench has better dymanic selection allowing non technical users to quickly query the data. However, Splunk can table the data more effectively.
