Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""It's very stable.""Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""Automated reporting.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily.""Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."

"The cloud is very fast.""The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint.""The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance.""This is a complete log reporting tool.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature.""In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions.""The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based.""Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration."

Cons
"Better user interface (UI).""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that.""We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"Customization could be simplified.""The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market.""The dashboards should be easier to customize.""The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good.""There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use.""In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects.""Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
  • "Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
  • "Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
  • "Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."
  • "It's affordable."
  • More Adaptive Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
