Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Enterprise
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.
- Log search is very good with this tool.
- Splunk search query language is just very good. You can easily run some analysis using this language
- Generating reports is a very good feature of this tool.
- Detecting anomalies and reporting them is just fantastic.
- Splunk requires some learning to use all of its features. Understanding its SPL is not very easy, and it will take long enough time to learn it.
- Regular expression is a bit tedious to learn and then use, it needs a good understanding of regular expression.
- I don't know why, but sometimes its search keeps on going forever and then I had to manually kill that job to start it again.
- There are a lot of positive impacts that Splunk had made, we have real-time exception alerting which is very useful
- We have report generation out of the logs which again helped us in many ways.
- The only negative thing I can say is that it requires good learning and that takes a long time
