Pretty good introduction overall. I learned how Splunk is used for security event management and got to try some basic searches. Some parts felt a bit rushed, but it helped me understand how SIEM tools fit into cybersecurity operations.

Covers the main features of Splunk clearly, though some sections could be more detailed. Still, it’s a helpful starting point for beginners interested in cybersecurity and log analysis concepts.

Great introductory course if you’re just starting with SIEM or Splunk — it makes the basics understandable and gives you a confidence boost. Decent but not exhaustive if you want deeper skills.

The Splunk hands-on parts are okay, but I felt they could have gone a bit deeper, especially when demonstrating searches and building dashboards. A few examples felt rushed.
