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."It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"The user experience is easy. Users get familiar with it quickly."
"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."
"They find Power BI's data pull mechanism to be sufficient and cost-effective, especially considering the stability it provides. In comparison with other solutions, Power BI stands out as a fantastic choice. Therefore, I would definitely recommend sticking with the Pro license."
"Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools."
"The stability is good."
"As it was my first time using Power BI, I can say that it was fairly easy to learn, especially if you already know BI-type tools."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Splunk is."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"It provides a lot of analytics with the underlying AI engine, and it is a lot easier than other solutions. There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"It needs more graphics and overlays."
"I'm looking for something that can make it much easier to incorporate Power BI visuals or dashboards into, let's say, Power Apps – custom Power Apps or anything like that. The most important thing would be to seamlessly embed reports in applications. For example, to have buttons that can be navigated through multiple solutions – from Power Apps to Power BI to SharePoint – via links or something like that."
"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."
"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"Microsoft BI comes under pressure when there is a lot of data to be crunched. It gets slower and slower, and the functionality becomes a bit of a problem. The performance goes down with data being fed into the system. The infrastructure requirement also increases if you have to increase the performance. This is the area that can be improved in my opinion. Initially, the product is good, but over the years, when data gets accumulated, it becomes a problem unless the old data is kind of archived and is no longer shown on the visualization. It has a feature by using which a user can query for a report through simple questions to a bot. So, if I want to look for the customer share of revenue by geography, I just simply state that in the chatbot. If I wanted it in a pie chart, then you say, "Please show it to me in a pie chart." It comes out well for basic charts. This feature should be improvised more so that people can very quickly get customized reports on the go."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
