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."The stability is good."
"The stability is great and continues to get better and better."
"There is a feature in Microsoft BI that allows JSON data to SQL on the dashboards effectively and quickly."
"Provides a full platform (database, ETL, reporting, analysis, and so on)"
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time."
"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."
"What's most valuable in this tool is that it gives its users detailed error messages. It's a very stable data analytics tool, and it offers good scalability."
"The tool helps with advanced reports and keeps the system scalable and flexible. It provides a clear picture of the current status of any incidents. As a CISO, I see a lot of potential for future innovation, which is interesting. I've noticed better performance, especially with the reports."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"It has limited performance capabilities in terms of connecting to large transactional databases, but it is fine for simple and quick queries from Excel spreadsheets or one table. The premium level is going to be more applicable for the higher transaction-level databases."
"Microsoft BI has its own challenges in terms of user interface and how quickly somebody can learn how to use it."
"When I create measures, sometimes the error messages aren't clear. It makes me spend more time searching for solutions. I need the error messages to be more specific. So, I would like clearer error messages when creating measures."
"They asked you to pay if you want to synchronize more than eight times, you would have to go to a Power BI enterprise license, which is much more costly."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
"These licenses are in US dollars. With a long-term license, the client is unaffected when the exchange rate goes up. However, if the exchange rate goes down, you don't get refunded from the excess money you've paid. I guess that is a risk you take in business."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
