"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"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."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"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."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"The alerts are very effective."
"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"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 should improve its graphics."
"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."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"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."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"The documentation is in definite need of improvement."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"This is a costly solution."
"I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need."
