Splunk Enterprise Platform Reviews

My company uses Splunk Enterprise Platform for monitoring and user base filtering.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part. Integration with other applications is another valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform.

Splunk Enterprise Platform is already a refined product, so I don't have any recommendations related to areas that need improvement.

The cost of Splunk Enterprise Platform is an area of concern where improvements can be made by bringing down the costs. Product-related, I don't have any feedback.

The support offered by Splunk Enterprise Platform has certain shortcomings that need improvement.

We use the product for real-time monitoring purposes.

The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions. It allows us to understand successful and failed transactions with a graphical representation easily.

Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console. With the monitoring console, users can track server performance metrics such as data ingestion, server uptime, CPU, and memory utilization. Integrations with third-party apps can provide comprehensive server monitoring capabilities. However, setting up such integrations may require significant time and effort, as experienced in the mentioned case took nearly 20 days to complete.

We have been using Splunk Enterprise Platform for four years now.

I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten.

The product is highly scalable.

The complexity of the initial setup largely depends on the level of experience. I find it straightforward due to my proficiency in establishing connectivity, creating DNS, and performing installation configuration. I rate the process a nine and a half out of ten.

The time required for deployment varies depending on the process in place. If changes need to be made within a specific window, such as raising an instance, the window period opens only for a set duration. Deployment in such cases involves raising a change request and obtaining approval, which can take up to seven days. However, from a technical perspective, initial deployment typically takes up to one or two hours. Yet, procedural requirements, like awaiting change request approval, may prolong the process, necessitating additional days of waiting before deployment can proceed.

The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion.

When clients request specific data for a particular period, we retrieve the relevant information from our servers and generate statistics. Later, we create reports, alerts, and dashboards based on the requested data. This process involves fetching the necessary data attributes, such as service names, and displaying their corresponding values in the generated reports, alerts, and dashboards.

The platform's alerting capabilities enable the automation of alerts based on predefined conditions. When specific results exceed predefined thresholds, alerts are triggered automatically. For example, if a value exceeds a specified threshold, an email alert is generated and sent to the relevant stakeholders, prompting them to take appropriate action. This automated alerting mechanism enhances operational efficiency by promptly notifying stakeholders of critical events, allowing them to respond swiftly and effectively to potential issues or deviations from expected outcomes.

I recommend Splunk to other people. It's a very good tool, offering many features that surpass other tools like Kaspersky. Its comprehensive monitoring capabilities and insightful analytics make it a valuable user asset.
