Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."There are some great automation elements in the product."
"It gives you an edge if you are on the Microsoft platform. If you have been using Microsoft products for a long time or if you have the Microsoft infrastructure, this is the right tool for you. It has seamless integration with Microsoft SQL Server and other sources, and you get the best of the three things (SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS) in one suite."
"Connectivity, installation, and configuration are pretty fast and seamless compared to Cognos."
"The good part of it is that you can do whatever you want with it when it comes to building BI. In terms of languages, it supports Python, and it also natively supports R."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"Microsoft BI is scalable."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"The solution's documentation needs improvement."
"It needs more graphics and overlays."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."
"I would like for there to be some type of user manual that shows steps on how to navigate the solution."
"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
