I use Splunk on my phone, on-premises, and for the automation tasks that we carry out.
We use it to work on dedicated forms and infrastructure and have a lot of virtual machines and instances that are being run for every single application. Our infrastructure is purely based on Azure by Microsoft.
Keeping CMDBs of all the virtual machines is a heavy task. When you use it for your portal use, it might be two or three virtual machines. When a virtual machine is created, we use post-provisioning inside the virtual machine. While post-provisioning, we install Splunk agents so that any activity that is happening inside the VM is virtually monitored by Splunk.
We create a dashboard. We are able to monitor everything from that dashboard.
Splunk also offers enhancements and automation. Splunk plays a major role when it comes to automation. We extract the data from Splunk, and then we use it to automate using a jump server so that we can put in actions on any number of virtual machines.

Sr. Engineer Observability at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
We're looking to migrate an acquisition into the Splunk environment. We acquired a company and their Splunk environment was small and separate. We didn't want to have to maintain old Windows environments in unique use cases so we wanted to migrate it to the cloud as a proof of concept.
In their case, they had global data domicile requirements. We didn't have the same global deployment for our other larger environment that they did. So it made sense for us to migrate them to a bunch of small cloud stacks that were globally positioned rather than deploy a bunch of tiny enterprise environments to do the same thing.
The solutions are segregated at the moment. We're currently migrating the ACS environment. We have our own Splunk Enterprise implementation that we still use for Azure currently. It's fine, it doesn't drop.
We are using Splunk Cloud as a log aggregator. All our application logs come to one place, and we do the aggregation, troubleshooting, and investigation. It has many different kinds of production troubleshooting.

My manager typically requests dashboards, alerts, and scheduled reports. Based on their specific requirements, I create reports and dashboards that visualize the data. We leverage the Splunk Cloud Platform to fulfill these needs.
Additionally, my teammates may approach me for insights. I analyze the data and provide them with these insights, which they then use for team meetings and further data analysis. This ultimately helps them make informed decisions.

Tech Support Supervisor at a government with 10,001+ employees
We have a lot of third-party contractors that come in on our network and do the work. We use it to pretty much check what they are doing and make sure they are not doing anything that they are not supposed to be doing.
We do a lot of user interaction. We have users logging in, and we mainly look into failures and what is causing them to get locked out. We do a lot of that.
We also have Duo. We use Splunk Cloud Platform to keep an eye on who is using Duo, where they have failures, and why. We have quite a few people who are not supposed to be using Duo, and then they end up, for whatever reason, on the Duo side of the house. We use it to keep an eye on them so that we can help them get back to where they are supposed to be.

We use it for Log Management and also for another bit of management. It feeds data into Splunk and Splunk writes the rules and based on that, it will pick up incidents.
It is good from a cost perspective, in terms of the cost of the data you're looking at. There is no cost barrier.
