Overall Satisfaction with Splunk IT Essentials

Splunk IT has helped revolutionize how we monitor all of our IT devices across the enterprise. Prior to its implementation, monitoring and troubleshooting had no real scope or direction. It was very much an unorganized, ad-hoc type of pursuit that wasted a ton of time and energy tracking problems down. Splunk IT Essentials lets us consolidate our monitoring into a single tool and see real time insights into the health of the enterprise.

Pros

  • Real time enterprise health monitoring
  • Metrics ingest, parsing, and visualization
  • Investigating and troubleshooting problems that arise with devices

Cons

  • Currently need to special request this app on Splunk Cloud
  • Not compatible with older versions of Splunk
  • Device level metrics data collection and visualization
  • At-a-glance overview of enterprise health
  • Easily scalable as new devices are added to the enterprise
  • Huge time saver in troubleshooting issues in the environment
  • Alerts allow for much quicker response time to certain events that require attention
  • Able to leverage this app when transitioning to ITSI
If you've used any Splunk product then you know they have a good reputation for creating smart and user-friendly tools. Splunk IT Essentials is no different and I have had nothing but positive experiences with it. It was a straightforward integration with our enterprise environment. And it can also be leverage, as we did, when moving to ITSI as well.

Splunk IT Essentials scales really well and is quite suitable for large enterprise environments which is where I use it. It can easily handle the classification and ingest of metrics/log data from thousands of devices. It also allows for easy grouping of these devices so that users can search just for Windows devices, or just for Linux machines. Provides a great overview of enterprise health while allowing deeper dives into the device level of data.
