Splunk Enterprise Overview
What is Splunk Enterprise?
Splunk Enterprise is a cloud-based platform designed to assist businesses with big data management and analysis of machine data. Key features include data visualization, performance metrics, data collection, real-time search, indexing, KPI tracking, reporting, and monitoring.
The application lets managers create custom dashboards, add visualizations, adjust interface components, and convert it to forms. Splunk Enterprise helps administrators conduct continuous monitoring of operational events to detect vulnerabilities and receive event-triggered alerts in real-time. With its workload management feature, users can reserve storage capacity of system resources for data import/ingestion of high-priority tasks. Splunk Enterprise also enables team members to detect system anomalies and perform data clustering to filter out corrupted data.
Splunk Enterprise offers integration with various third-party platforms including Microsoft Excel, Tableau, Okta, PingFerderate, Azure AD, CA SiteMinder, OneLogin, and Optimal IdM. The solution is suitable for businesses in industries such as aerospace, communications, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, energy, and utilities.

Splunk Enterprise Reviews
Offers more than you think
We've used the software to detect layer 7 attacks, unearth issues we didn't realize were happening and gives us end to end insight into our stack.
Splunk is a great solution for SIEM and also for monitoring your infrastructure
We needed a way to monitor our internal environment and start to be more proactive with issues, so we started sending all of our logs to Splunk and we we able to get insights we did not know we needed. It is a great solution and they are constantly innovating.
Doing setup redundant servers without Splunk
Saved my a$$ many times. In a multi-server environment, if you don't have Splunk or something like it, it will be a nightmare to try and coordinate the various log files involved.
A tool which is one for all
Splunk has made me realize the ability to correlate different data from different realms altogether and generate valuable insights.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Pros
Splunk makes it easy to search through various data including logs. In the past I have had to pour through logs in order to find the one lines among the 100 of thousands of lines. Splunk allows me to search through those logs in a matter of seconds vs the hours it used to take.
Cons
Most of enterprise setup is done through the command line. It would be nice to have cluster configuration (index creation) as part of the UI.

Pros
Several of our applications are distributed across multiple systems. It is the same software running on each server but doing the same job for different users. Each server would generate its own log files. When things went wrong, we used Splunk to be able to see what was going on on each server. Click a few buttons and you get two logs from two different servers listed together coordinated by time. But that leads you to discover that the issue came from a separate upstream or downstream server, then bring in those logs too . . . all coordinated by time. Don't get me wrong, the IT guys love these tools for their own enterprise reasons, but as a server stack developer, this was a resource I used OFTEN.
Cons
I never fully grokked their SQL like language. I could do basic things daily without issue. However, I often had to hit the documentation to do anything more than a simple "find this" query.
Spunk Review
Pros
It allows me to bring a lot of information into one friendly view. It's a great security audit tool.
Cons
It has limited functionality. It is a very memory intensive system. It does not integrate with Lennox.
A tool which is one for all
Splunk has made me realize the ability to correlate different data from different realms altogether and generate valuable insights.
Pros
The ability to use this software for security operations, data analysis, creating dashboards, generating tickets and everything else
Cons
Splunk uses its own SPL, which is not very easy to learn. However, there are lots of documentation that Splunk provides to its customers. There is paid training available which is useful for beginners to learn.
