Cons
"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience.""We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""The product must be made more user-friendly."

More Google Cloud Datalab Cons →

"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards.""The support offered by Splunk Enterprise Platform has certain shortcomings that need improvement.""The tool lacked in providing a shareable format. I had to use pivot tables and manually parse and edit the data to create a visualization-friendly format. It was helpful when we had an issue. What would make it stronger is if it were more proactive. For example, if it highlighted major incidents and their impact on users without digging through notifications, that would be better. Typically, the first question we get is, "Oh, we had an incident. How bad was it? How many customers were impacted?" So having that information pop up from the notification would be helpful.""It's not easy or feasible to reach out to Splunk directly.""Things have to be managed manually""There is room for improvement in terms of scalability.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
