Vorteile

I love how detailed you can have the dasboards and charts go. It supports tons of chart types, and custom reporting elements. But above all, with the automaetd monitoring, you can have access to continuous insights from large data you wouldn't have been able to make sense of otherwise.

Nachteile

It's quite difficult to set up in the beginning. It took us a lot longer than expected to map our production data onto the system. But once you have it up and running, it works like clockwork

Vorteile

It's a really good tool for monitoring and query logs

Nachteile

The proprietary Query language is difficult to use

Vorteile

Powerful search language
Advanced visualisation
Flexibility to accept logs from any source
High availability
Ease of administration

Nachteile

The cost is too high compared to other log monitoring tools.

Vorteile

Without worrying too much about data type or normalization, Splunk Enterprise can efficiently manage massive amounts of data from numerous sources. Data may be accessed in a flash, and there are a number of options for tailoring and integrating data analysis workflows to create bespoke dashboards or utilizing apps from our other product partners.

Nachteile

There isn't much I dislike about splunk, however if we have to be picky, it would be that it's more difficult to maintain as an administrator when splunk is installed on outdated architecture.

Vorteile

Intuitive, customizable and really usefull in everyday work. The different section "smart, quick and detailed" gives you the freedom to choice how to interact with the tool.

Nachteile

Some bugs on the Alerts section to edit makes the experience worse than I expect.

Vorteile

Capabilities and features of the tools provided are useful

Nachteile

This is one of the costly tools Available in the market

Vorteile

The software is user-friendly and has powerful data visualization tools.

Nachteile

I wish the pricing was more affordable for small businesses like mine, and some features can be overwhelming for beginners.

Vorteile

Data visualization, Analytics skills with AI-powered and can handle data in TB/per day without any interruptions in services. Live dashboards, developing use-cases and their capabilities (correlation).

Nachteile

complex architecture and efficient skills are required, financial is also not feasible for small and medium customers. no inbuilt query builders for beginners to understand the platform.

Vorteile

Splunk is provides a single tool for log aggregation, log analysis, and visualizations. Threat hunting, applying threat intelligence, and incident response are easily repeatable; pushing organizations to proactive security processes.

Nachteile

Splunk is expensive, especially when an organizations is exploring and building new security or data use cases. It also requires a lot of engineering maintenance, making the quality of the data highly-dependent on the skill(s) of those supporting it. Many organizations do not maximize its benefit because it is poorly managed or supported by low-skilled employees.

Vorteile

The saying "you only get out what you put in" is rather apt when utilising Splunk as a SIEM tool - i.e. the more logs / data you can feed into the solution the better the results. Ingesting multiple log files from numerous systems / applications is essential when reviewing security incidents and ensures everything is in one place.

Nachteile

For all that is good with Splunk, the costs are rather high and could force Customers to other solutions unless they make themselves more competitive in the pricing market

Vorteile

The search feature allows for quick searching of signatures for new KBs

Nachteile

It feels very clunky to set up, explained by the whole certification track just for using splunk..

Vorteile

The visualization based on the metrics is great

Nachteile

Cant think of any cons that i want to write

Vorteile

It's giving live alert, triggers, dashboard system based on rules we already set. the dashboard helps to see and virtualize the data.

Nachteile

The only concern I feel it consumes the system space due to this my system running slow. without knowledge of Splunk query language, it is difficult to handle.

Vorteile

It is a very subtle program, when generating the setup it is not necessary to have a great knowledge of programming to install it, but to solve some configuration errors, when you start what I like the most is that you start from day one to organize your applications, then From that you can easily configure cybersecurity for each program, I particularly like the monitoring of data programs and that the program alerts you with notifications so that you see errors that sometimes jumps in the program.

Nachteile

What I don't like and I see that it is something widespread is that it has very poor support in technical help, I think that the old technical support collaborators have left and people who are not so qualified have arrived to answer the tickets.For my part it is not a big problem since I am a researcher and with the information that is on the splunk website it is enough for me to generate the resolutions of problems.

Vorteile

Security Information and Event management, log analytics, custom dashboards and workspaces

Nachteile

Auto upgrade management and notifications for Add-ons. Leaning more towards config file based implementation instead of UI based implementation

Vorteile

The ability to set up queries and get data back quickly is invaluable

Nachteile

Learning to structure queries is a bit of a challenge in the beginning

Vorteile

This tool provides holistic overview of network and infra reports which supports RCA analysis.

Vorteile

Splunk offers various features whether you need to setup monitoring on your server, application logs based on logs ingestion set alerts so that teams got notified on real time and take actions accordingly. In this way, it helps to monitor application which are mission critical. You can make dashboards in Splunk where you can configure various components such indexes, data inputs and schedule reports as well. To achieve additional functionalities we can install third party apps as well such as AWS Add on for cloud watch log ingestion.

Nachteile

From Admin perspective, I found user access management a little difficult. The roles of access management becomes complicated because some time the config files for that didn't came very handy. Other then that I think all in all Splunk provides fulfill all of the requirements.

Splunk enterprise efficiently monitors our log activities and and gives results to any queries at faster speed than most SIEM tools.

Vorteile

With Splunk Enterprise, it is easy to investigate, detect and remediate threats on devices and endpoints on our network.

Nachteile

It was full of technical overheads when we were customizing Splunk Enterprise features.

Vorteile

The system is highly intuitive to use. It is faster than other solutions I've used on the market and has a huge library of 3rd party plugins to get more from the system. It is easy to create scheduled searches, dashboards, reports etc. but there are a number of additional plugins (at an extra cost) to help with security, single pane of glass and metric collection.

Nachteile

It offers challenges for a decentralized working model. Where Splunk is centrally managed, it is easy to ensure that best practices are maintained. Where the system is opened up for an entire department to utilize and on-board their logs, it becomes more difficult. However, with some creative thinking and good process, this issue can be overcome.

Vorteile

They have a robust platform that I have used for monitoring and analytics. There are a lot of options and customization available when using it.

Because there is so much customization and options available, it can be complicated to learn.

J’ai pu me servir de Splunk lors d’une mission chez un client. Nous étions face a un problème : beaucoup de datas sur nos serveurs de productions et des difficultés pour les récupérer quotidiennement et les analyser. Après une formation sur Splunk et quelques heures de travail nous avions notre premier Dashboard remontant beaucoup de données de nos serveurs de productions. Le plus intéressant était de voir en réel nos pannes serveurs. Grâce à Splunk la mission était plus facile.

Nachteile

Dès qu’il fallait aller vers un cas complexe de récupération de données croisées avec d’autres états de serveur, il fallait alors être plus compétent en programmation. Ça a bloqué certains membres de l’équipe car il leur fallait d’autres formations pour suivre.

Vorteile

It helped me enormously in my job as IT INC Management including detailed reports and alerting any necessary information.

Nachteile

It has a somewhat complex paring curve and there are no simple tutorials or parallel design of tutorials for new managers
