Real-time data analysis benefits but automation in role creation needs improvement
Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive. The features that have proven most effective for real-time data analysis include parts of the platform and its automation capabilities. However, I want them to enhance their automation to cover every aspect, particularly the automation of roles creation.

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."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure solution."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Splunk's real-time processing capability has been pretty good for my use cases."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the load balancing technique, the forwarding technique, and SSL certification."
"Overall, I rate Splunk Enterprise Platform ten out of ten."
"Splunk Enterprise is a wireless enterprise application that can be customized based on training."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"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."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"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."
"The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
"The support offered by Splunk Enterprise Platform has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"The tool lacked in providing a shareable format. I had to use pivot tables and manually parse and edit the data to create a visualization-friendly format. It was helpful when we had an issue. What would make it stronger is if it were more proactive. For example, if it highlighted major incidents and their impact on users without digging through notifications, that would be better. Typically, the first question we get is, "Oh, we had an incident. How bad was it? How many customers were impacted?" So having that information pop up from the notification would be helpful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
"The tool is expensive."
