We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."
"Qlik Sense provides features to manage and govern data, ensuring data security, accuracy, and regulation compliance."
"Data-driven decisions are now easier."
"Qlik Sense is very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Even for rare issues, we receive good support from Qlik. It's a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Unique data visualizations created based on - among others - customer reviews and hands-on experience. Qlik is an experienced company in the Business Intelligence / Data visualization area, that doesn't necessarily mean it is the best solution, however, based on my personal experience it is much more complex than Power BI and Tableau as I've had some things to do with these two concurrent softwares."
"Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"If a team wants to keep track of source code changes, there is not an out-of-the-box solution for it."
"I would like to more easily themed environments."
"Reload time is a limit since everyone wants real-time data."
"We need more types of visualizations."
"What needs improvement in Qlik Sense is the support. It could be faster. My organization had already talked to Qlik management and has escalated multiple times, so management is looking into the support."
"The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user."
"The security can be improved."
"The analytics of Splunk could be improved."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about 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."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
