Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The product is user-friendly."
"Technical support has been great."
"It's a powerful platform."
"The solution is not that difficult to install, although this will vary with the experience of the person responsible for its installation."
"Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"The correlation searches (properly configured) populate the Incident Management dashboard and provide me a quick birds-eye view of my most important concerns."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"It seems that the solution could use more analytics to help users draw more contextual business insights. Right now, you need other solutions for that."
"One thing I would like to have is the scripting language, as they already have within Excel. It's already within a Microsoft business product, because Excel is the number one business product out there. So it would be nice to have the scripting capability in order to automate certain processes."
"If you look at the new tool, even though they promised that you could do data modeling, that you could do everything from the Power BI side, if your data is really large in volume, sometimes it doesn't work on the Power BI. More feature testing from their side would certainly help users."
"If I have to update data automatically, where I have to pin the gateway, it doesn't update. There is a scheduled refresh functionality so that it refreshes automatically, but I find it very hard to make it work."
"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"Considering the contract thing and the whole legal area, it takes forever to get the contracts signed and to be able to agree to the terms and conditions for my company as well as for Splunk's team."
