We performed a comparison between SAS Visual Analytics 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."Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The technical support services are good."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"Splunk has helped improve our company's resilience level."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"I love the solution, but I would like to see more accessibility to the machine-learning capabilities that are sprinkled around Splunk."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
