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
7.9
Splunk Enterprise is highly scalable, handling large data volumes with minimal maintenance, and features effective automation and clustering.
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
Some products can automatically scale, but Splunk requires manual configuration changes to achieve scale, which is slightly outdated compared to modern technologies.
Consultant at Artifield
I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform a scalable solution since it has different components, and if the server is down, I can upgrade the server resources or create a new node for performance optimization.

Room For Improvement

Dundas BI users want better visualization, ease of use, data integration, API support, and clearer error messaging in reports.
Splunk Enterprise offers powerful features but needs improvements in usability, cost, support, and handling large data volumes.
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
For generative AI, it would be beneficial for Splunk to add features allowing users to define queries using prompts.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
It is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively.

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.

Has streamlined data integration and enabled real-time dashboard visualizations through a powerful search engine
Splunk Enterprise Platform has a vast and versatile powerful search engine with which I can handle all queries, and creating use cases and the search and dashboard is the main selling point, allowing me to visualize live dashboards. The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. 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. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry. Splunk Enterprise Platform serves as a time-saving solution because integrating other sources such as Syslog or router switch firewall is much easier.
