Big data is no problem for Splunk Enterprise

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Splunk is a powerful and useful monitoring tool. Splunk's efficiency is enhanced by the ability to integrate third-party apps developed in-house. It's also interesting that we can incorporate a customs alert and dashboard. In most situations, it resolves the need to normalize data, allowing for the use of any and all data in business forecasting. It is analyzed for data that can be utilized to optimize spending plans and asset tracking.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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we have to be picky, it would be that it's more difficult to maintain as an administrator when splunk is installed on outdated architecture.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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

Great SIEM

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Incredibly powerful tool for log collection. It is very scalable and can be integrated with a wide variety of other tools and platforms. It is well-documented and supported by a large user community, making it easier to find solutions to common challenges.

Cons:

It feels somewhat dated compared to newer solutions on the market. Its interface and some functionalities haven't evolved as much as other modern tools. It can also be quite expensive.
