"Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data."
"The most valuable feature is the DSS, also known as SPL, because it allows users to script advanced queries with limited knowledge."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."

"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
