Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"Our setup is very straight forward and can be done in a matter of hours."
"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."
"The stability is good."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."
"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"Support is quick and competent."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"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."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"Actionable insights could be better."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"The setup time is quite long."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
