Kundan Nagare - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent data analysis and visualization capabilities
I use the Platform to monitor my IT infrastructure. There are apps for Linux and Windows servers that capture performance metrics like CPU and memory usage. These metrics are collected and sent to the blank index through forwarders. Splunk helps with security information and event management by detecting and monitoring network equipment and firewalls. It saves searches for specific terms, like threats, in firewall logs. When a match is found, it alerts about potential security breaches, helping to detect and address them. The real-time processing capability in Splunk enhances data monitoring by centrally collecting all data. This allows for easy searching and scheduling of searches, reducing the need for manual intervention. The dashboard and visualization features in Splunk impact data analysis by providing a clear status of data analysis. Users can create customized views for management, helping them understand what is happening within the infrastructure more effectively. I would recommend Splunk to others, especially from the CIM perspective. Its data analysis and visualization capabilities are unmatched, making it an excellent choice for SIM. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part."
"From a stability perspective, the tool is good."
"It's not just one feature I like the most. Every person wants to collect and rate logs, and I value how the Splunk Enterprise Platform handles this.The most valuable part for us is setting up the alerts and reports to manage the logs and log metrics. We use it to support every tool across the entire bank.We are the ones who manage all the data, and if there's any issue, everything depends on the Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform is that it's a customizable solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure solution."
"The most valuable feature I've found in the Splunk Enterprise Platform is its log readability and filtering capabilities. The filters on the left side are particularly useful, allowing me to quickly narrow down the data to what's relevant for any application or server service. The interesting fields feature helps me get the values I need most of the time."
"It is a scalable solution."

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The Splunk Enterprise Platform has room for improvement, particularly in automating the permissions process during app promotions. Currently, permissions are manually set when different teams request an application move to production, which is time-consuming. Automating this process would streamline operations by automatically assigning the appropriate permissions and roles to specific services or teams, reducing the need to review each request ticket manually."
"The support offered by Splunk Enterprise Platform has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Splunk can be used primarily to port log files, allowing for easy and quick management of large amounts of logs. However, this can also be a drawback due to the configuration, parsing, and dashboard creation limitations. Communication is stream-based, which means you need to do a lot of pre-emptive setup to get a nice export."
"Firstly, integration with different cloud platforms could be enhanced."
"Splunk could improve by enhancing its graphical view functionality. Compared to other BI tools, Splunk's graphic features are limited; customers desire detailed, rich visual effects, like world maps showing threat attacks as animations."
"Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"There should be continuous customer engagement and training programs on the new features and capabilities introduced by the solution."
