"In terms of features, the querying is great."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"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."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."

"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"The customer service and support could improve their approach to questioning issues. They tend to ask questions one at a time, which creates a lot of back-and-forth communication."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"The security can be improved."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
"Some of the queries are difficult to run and have room for improvement."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
