It is crucial for anyone looking to deploy Splunk Enterprise Platform to first certify for their courses, such as the Splunk Administrator and the Power User Administrator certifications, which address all troubleshooting queries.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Dundas BI scales well with development teams managing it, though license dependency affects independent report creation and user expansion.
Sentiment score
8.0
Splunk Enterprise Platform delivers robust scalability, seamless third-party integration, and effective data handling, though manual scaling requires user effort.
Splunk allows for scalability, as you can start with an all-in-one instance and, as your deployment grows, split it into distributed deployment, such as separating the search head and indexers.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
It is highly stable and scalable for us.
Dev Ops And Observability Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Some products can automatically scale, but Splunk requires manual configuration changes to achieve scale, which is slightly outdated compared to modern technologies.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.0
Dundas BI is generally stable, but users face occasional issues with upgrades, large data, and resource management. Support helps.
Sentiment score
8.2
Splunk Enterprise Platform is highly rated for stability, handling complex operations smoothly, though some complex setups can be challenging.
Our L1 and L2 teams get real-time alerts and query the SPL effectively without delays that other SIEM solutions may impose.

Room For Improvement

Dundas BI users want better visualization, ease of use, data integration, API support, and clearer error messaging in reports.
Splunk Enterprise needs better automation, integration, user interface, cost efficiency, and beginner-friendly tools to enhance accessibility and performance.
The deep learning capabilities need enhancing, especially on Splunk Cloud, where customers find it challenging to use deep learning tools without setting up backend computing resources.
Consultant at Artifield
I could also build some pre-indexed summaries so that Splunk Enterprise Platform can search much faster than raw logs.

From an architectural standpoint, data onboarding, normalization, performance, and scalability improvements would be beneficial, particularly in optimizing search speed and query execution to handle larger searches efficiently.

Setup Cost

Dundas BI offers flexible pricing options, suited for enterprises, varying by user type and supporting numerous deployment models.
Splunk Enterprise Platform's pricing based on data ingestion can be costly, especially for small businesses, despite flexible options.
The pricing model is based on ingesting data sizes, not user count, and includes a free tier for up to 500 MB of daily data.
Consultant at Artifield
We ingest terabytes of data, so I can say Splunk Enterprise Platform is somewhat costly.

Valuable Features

Dundas BI excels with customizable visualizations, diverse data integration, flexible interface, and extensive customization via JavaScript API and tools.
Splunk Enterprise excels in customization, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly analytics, offering strong integration, visualization, and app support.
Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR, which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool.
SOC A2 at Innodata-ISOGEN
The anomaly detection is very good for live production data. Whenever an anomaly comes in an application, it automatically resolves and just gives the notification.

Splunk Enterprise Platform will create an incident and detect this as a credential compromise because we have a successful login from another location.

Has a lot of integration and visualization options, but can't be easily used by business users, and working with the color palette is difficult
With Dundas BI, we do not have end-users apart from the developers. End-users do not find it easy to create their own reports. Most of the implementations I have seen require a developer team for creating the visuals, and they then give them to end-users. A self-serve part where end-users or business users can create their own reports would help in terms of the adoption of Dundas BI. Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do. Even when a developer starts working on Dundas BI, he needs to spend at least one month or so getting used to the functionalities of Dundas BI. Even then, it is not easy to remember where or how they made a certain property change. It takes at least one month for a developer to get acquainted with it. Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart. Dundas can further reduce the number of settings they have. When you create any chart in Dundas, you get a lot of features to control each setting, which is pretty useful for BI, but for end-users, it is difficult to identify the exact settings to change a property. I would love it if some of the options come pre-selected. If some of the settings are set to best practices by default, it will be helpful. Whenever we have any issues, the error messages that we get in Dundas BI are not very helpful in identifying the root cause. Making these changes will bring a lot of change to the end-user experience.

Centralized analytics have transformed noc and soc operations and deliver faster threat response
Splunk Enterprise Platform's most valuable features include its integration with AI, as Cisco, which has taken Splunk Enterprise Platform recently, is building up AI functionalities, enhancing remediation capabilities and the orchestration part in the market. Additionally, Splunk Enterprise Platform shows the correct logs at the correct time, and inventory management is very good. I assess the effectiveness of Splunk Enterprise Platform in detecting anomalies and preventing system outages as very strong; for over two to three decades, it has provided centralized log visibility, real-time monitoring, and analytics correlation, which is robust for threat detection and incident investigation. Splunk Enterprise Platform's machine learning capability of the toolkit predicts trends and reduces many false positives, making Splunk Enterprise Platform an essential tool for both SOC and network operations, where it effectively detects anomalies that other SIEM tools cannot. Splunk Enterprise Platform's personalized dashboards are superb, as I have been experimenting with them extensively, and new features have enhanced their quality, making them particularly effective for presentations to leadership, including direct engagement with the CISO.
