Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Cloud
Splunk Cloud is used by the IT department for the majority of the devices that can produce logs. It was initially purchased as a syslog aggregate but has evolved into much more than that now. It addresses the question of log retention and security investigation. It will eventually be expanded to be used across the wider business.
- Searching through logs/data
- Data ingestion
- Documentation for add-ons and apps
- Support for Splunk Cloud
- Helped us identify potential security breaches
- Able to investigate issues thoroughly
All the products in this category do log aggregation very well, however the winning factor was that we have experience with Splunk already and this has proved invaluable as Splunk has a steep learning curve. Especially the Splunk administration part of the tool as that is a very complex area if you wish to get into it.
