What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

Splunk has traditionally shown strong performance in APM. Especially compared to other competing products, it has an advantage.

It is still a strong and good solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

Since Cisco acquired it, the pricing policy and other features are still unclear.

Of course, I expect that a good company will acquire it and create good synergy to further expand the business, but I have a strong feeling that they are not ready yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Splunk Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?

The best feature of Splunk is APM.

You can see everything you want. (Of course, except for the things you can't see..)

If you ask the developer, more than 95% of all functions can be implemented.

You can extract only the data you want and see it, you can see the entire system at a glance, and you can see a variety of functions according to your purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

It is easier to write SPL queries than SQL, and you can create your own custom Splunk commands where you can write your own Python scripts to handle complex data types like JSON, which has a nested level of 3 or 4. It is easy to create visualizations and get insights out of the data through commands like charts, stats, etc. It has a vast level of customer support, and when the developer or the user gets stuck, it has great documentation to resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

The resources splunk software takes when it handles a complex query makes you crazy and it has everything a developer needs, but when it comes to the licensing, it is a bit costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Splunk Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problem that Splunk solved was creating a custom visualization using Java scripts for rendering a train track, like the current movement of the train on the map or track layout, and also the custom filters that are created with the help of Javascript. I think this is the best thing where I got the most out of Splunk Enterprise here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
