Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Enterprise

Splunk is used across the whole organization and is used for logging. We log all of our web traffic thru Splunk and we use it to monitor what events are taking palce on our site. The business problem we solve for is not having to build an inhouse logging tool.
  • Catching web traffic
  • Dashboards are helpful
  • Search capability is great
  • The dropped logs can be frustrating
  • our instance only retains data for 3 months
  • Saves on the engineering cost of building an inhouse logging system
I think Splunk makes a ton of sense for a company that is looking for an out of box logging tool. Splunk does a good job of letting you log various parameters across your site and easily search and query for the said events.
