"The initial setup isn't overly complex."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"Our customers love the visual capabilities on top of it and the ability to explain and get the required data. There is no other product like Tableau in the business intelligence and analytics space."
"The solution has great features which nobody can beat, you can do a lot of customizations, such as use different dimensions and colorize them. Additionally, you can use the numeric values for the customization, which is an exceptional feature."
"It’s good for quick visualization and being able to quickly consume unstructured data to play around with."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"Its interface and usability can always be improved."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"The solution could improve the scalability, it is difficult to make changes."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
"Improvements can be made in template support. The workbook file structure is really hard to version control. If there was some sort of version control support offered particularly for workbooks, that would help big time."
"When it comes to large datasets, the data should be extracted faster."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
