Delivers financial benefits and operational efficiency with impactful data analytics capabilities
My advice for those looking to implement Splunk Enterprise Platform is to know the product well and have hands-on workshops or create a lab to gain complete knowledge before proceeding. Regarding maintenance, it does not require much as it is on-premises. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive."
"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."
"What I find the most valuable about the platform is its DB Connect and its versatility in general. I also like its adaptability to any use case when it comes to collecting and analyzing data."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure solution."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"The best thing about Splunk is you can collect all the data you want, and you can play with the data and do what you want."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions."
 

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"The Splunk Processing Language (SPL) poses a steep learning curve for new users."
"Things have to be managed manually"
"There is room for improvement in introducing more AI capabilities onto Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform should include more integrations with other security tools."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform could improve in the area of basic log readability. When performing basic searches without advanced filters, the logs often contain timestamps and various unknown codes or other elements that can be confusing. Removing or simplifying these parts would make it easier for users who are not developers or do not have a development background to understand and find relevant information easily."
"he product's initial setup phase needs to be made easy since it looks like it is very complex compared to the other tools in the market."
"The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
