We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It is easy to work with and very chic."
"The flexibility of the program is valuable. We are able to add other information to the reporting information and expand upon it."
"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."
"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"It's a powerful platform."
"The DAX coding language is good for creating formulae."
"The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"This is a straightforward solution, easy to configure."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"The solution could be quicker at rendering data."
"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."
"Microsoft BI has its own challenges in terms of user interface and how quickly somebody can learn how to use it."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
