Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery

Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes

Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."

"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."

"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."

"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."

"Its scalability is really what makes it stand out; you can on the fly increase the processing capacity of your instance for as long as you need it and then bring it back to whatever minimum setting you had, all with no downtime, which is very impressive."

"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."

"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"Everything is maintained by the Splunk support team. Users do not have to maintain any physical servers. They do not have to maintain indexes and searches. It reduces a lot of work on the user side."

"After Splunk Cloud Platform was introduced to us, we saved a considerable amount of time, and our team size went from more than 300 people to less than 30 people over five years because fewer employees are needed and we spend little effort since logs track everything and help us in our day-to-day tasks."

"It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity."

"It has simplified our cyber operations; it has helped us respond to threats and investigations much quicker than with our previous SIEM, is honestly less headache for me as an admin, and is much easier because a lot of people in the industry in cyber know Splunk already."

"Splunk Cloud Platform has greatly improved my daily operations through enhanced integration with third-party tools."

"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

"Splunk Cloud Platform offers features that are easier to use than having Enterprise Security and other applications on top of it, and the most significant advantage is not having to deal with on-premises server management."

"Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted our organization because we have been able to detect increases in failures and report on success rates of our platform."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."

"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."

"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"I do not see a return on investment."

"Support could be improved."

"In Splunk Cloud Platform particularly, there is nothing specific that I would like to see improved or enhanced, but the cost is currently very high."

"What I find challenging about Splunk Cloud Platform is that it occasionally has a steep learning curve for new users."

"I believe there are a few areas of Splunk Cloud Platform that have room for improvement, particularly in user customization and documentation clarity."

"Sometimes there are several steps involved in finding the right data, adjusting time ranges and fields, so it would be nice if the workflows felt more connected and required fewer clicks."

"The overall experience is positive, but there are a few areas where I think Splunk Cloud Platform can improve."

"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."

More Splunk Cloud Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"A highly cost-effective solution"

"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."

"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."

"It is an expensive platform."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."

"Splunk is a bit more expensive than some solutions, but customers can derive more value from it due to the features it has."

"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."

"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."

"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."

"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."

"It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."

"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
