"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."

"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."

"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."
"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"Professional support is great, but too expensive."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. Technical support could be improved as well."
