The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform saves approximately 20 to 30 percent of my time without having to perform different actions separately."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"In terms of my favorite features of Splunk Enterprise Platform, it has vast customizability."
"I consider Splunk to be one of the best solutions available compared to other options."
"When I talk about Splunk Enterprise Platform, I can say that Splunk Enterprise Platform is, whatever the tool I have worked from my last eight, nine years of experience in my overall corporate journey, a very powerful tool where I can customize everything as per my requirement."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions."
"From a stability perspective, the tool is good."
 

Cons

"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
"I think the machine learning toolkit is fine, but when I talk about threat intelligence, it is not that effective."
"There is room for improvement in introducing more AI capabilities onto Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"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."
"We have Splunk at a very high cost, but I can say that other vendors working with mid-size customers can compete against Splunk."
"The platform is too expensive for small businesses. Splunk should focus more on delivering something for small businesses and entrepreneurs."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"The Splunk Processing Language (SPL) poses a steep learning curve for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
