We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."

"This is an expensive solution."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."

"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
