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."I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"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."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"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."
"In the past we used the different application to collect logs. We used SurfWatch and VMware to do so. But, we found that the Splunk has more capacity to do more in less time. They provide a aster speed to index all the events , and this is a huge asset."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"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."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"Make it easy to use and the cost cheaper. This will help all organisations to implement Splunk."
"More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it."
"I feel the solution to be too slow."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
