Hi Chris, We're big users of Splunk at Hooroo and I can vouch for its power and usefulness at extracting information from lots of different schema-less data sources. I particularly like it's Unix-like query language and it's indexing speed. But it is a heavy-weight solution that we have found adds value and usefulness over time, as we have become more familiar with it's indexing options and trained it to understand our logs. It's not a tool I would reach for to solve one single problem. And I would always want my employer to be paying for it ;-)
