Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is being used by our own department. We use it mainly to aggregate logs and metrics. We also create different dashboards to display our service running status.

Since we have multiple environments, it's very convenient to stream all logs/metrics into Splunk Cloud, and see them from one centralized place.

Pros

Display log events in a very nice way for humans to read
Very easy and powerful to create dashboards
Very fast and reliable

Cons

Since it's a managed cloud service, it doesn't offer the capability to edit the config files directly. So if the web UI doesn't support something, we can't change it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud is good for application monitoring/alerting, data analysis and root cause analysis. For organizations that would like use Splunk but do not want to hire someone to operate or maintain it, this is the best solution.

From a cost perspective, it's not the cheapest one in the market.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk is available to all our teams, and usage is spreading. My team uses it for all the applications we manage, and it lets us log all user events in our mobile application and backend services. The reports it enables also really help with visibility and monitoring. For example, we were able to create a dashboard showing the average amount of time it takes to get through a particular flow in the app, the number of units processed per day in our app, error rates, and a lot more.

Pros

Powerful query language.
Very fast search indexing.
Intuitive UI.

Cons

The query language is well-documented but has a bit of a learning curve.
I wish copy/pasting JSON from the logs were easier without going to the completely raw (condensed) form.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk is great for logging and aggregating information across many sources. We are able to attach unique ids to the requests from our mobile app and trace their execution through our backend services. It is also very powerful for creating dashboards and other insights based on our log data. I would even use it for just a single application, just for the search capabilities.
