Helps to monitor logs from various sources but improvement is needed in support
The product helps monitor and visualize data. It allows you to handle various tasks. You can store, visualize, and analyze data with the Splunk Enterprise Platform. It offers features like virtual folders and heavy folders for filtering data. Additionally, you can create dashboards to showcase data to different teams and stakeholders. The tool also enables the creation of analytics and alerts and sends reports, making it a valuable tool for our system. The dashboard and visualization features are good for data analysis. With features like the Studio dashboard introduced in versions 8 to 9, users find it much easier to create dashboards without knowledge of languages like XML.
