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."When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."
"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."
"Many of my customers already use Microsoft products like Office 365, so I often propose Microsoft Power BI because it integrates well with all the standard Microsoft business tools. And it's the quickest tool to implement and start using daily."
"The product is stable."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"It allows for transparency into IT metrics for insightful business analytics."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"I like the ease with which dashboards can be created."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"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."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."
"The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team."
"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"The Enterprise Security app could be improved. We have had trouble with it working from the first day."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
