Md Ariful Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides robust search capabilities with potential for additional features
The initial deployment of Apache Superset was easy. Its integration is very straightforward. I found that when I chose Elasticsearch, its installation, settings, and integration with my application were also very easy; I could implement everything in just two or three days. It took me only one day to deploy it for the first time because I encountered complexities with the version differences, between version one and version two of Muktopaath. When I upgraded my version, the previous version did not support my new server installation, making it necessary for me to find and implement my previous versions' plugins. Although I could resolve it, I found it easy, aside from the version problem that took additional time.

AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making
I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The benefits I have seen from using Apache Superset for the business team are that they have been able to look at the numbers easily, log into the portal, and look at different dashboards, which are at different granularities."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"The most valuable feature is the SPL because without it we wouldn't be able to correlate and build our use cases and manage what we have for our data inside Splunk."
"We use Splunk Cloud primarily as a troubleshooting tool, so the most valuable features are the analysis and visualization."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
"Everything is maintained by the Splunk support team. Users do not have to maintain any physical servers. They do not have to maintain indexes and searches. It reduces a lot of work on the user side."
 

Cons

"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
"The pricing model makes the product costly."
"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."
"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."
"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."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
"Since I work on data collection from external sources and send them into Splunk, I miss its ability to collect that data through REST API applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."
"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
"The cost makes more sense for organizations that have a large amount of data ranges."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."
