DavidMalizia - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Data And Ai at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.

Centralized monitoring has transformed our multi-tenant security operations and automated response
The best features Splunk Cloud Platform offers are the multi-tenant data isolation plus role-based access control, secure index-level segregation for managing multiple global customers in a shared Splunk Cloud Platform environment. Additionally, features such as native integrations with SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM enable us to automate incident response, ticketing, and end-to-end security workflows across client environments. The high-scale injection plus SPL correlation process handles large volumes of infrastructure security logs with real-time analytics for managing SOC and cloud operations. Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted our organization as we have achieved faster incident detection and response, lower MTTR with real-time SPL alerts and automated workflows. It has also improved our multi-tenant visibility and centralized monitoring, reducing tool sprawl. We also saw better compliance and audit readiness with consistent log retention and reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"We have seen a return on investment as we observed a 50 to 60 percent reduction in manual SOC work, which allows freeing staff for higher-value tasks."
"There is definitely the ease of the infrastructure administration. It frees up a lot of time."
"Not having to maintain any infrastructure is valuable. That frees up a lot of time as well."
"In terms of the benefits of the product, I would say it is my go-to tool."
"One of the best things about Splunk Cloud Platform is that any type of data can be brought into one platform and worked on."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
"For my purposes, I like the ability to aggregate lots of data from different sources. I like being able to report for management and being able to get alerts on thresholds being out of sync."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
 

Cons

"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."
"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"The return on investment with Splunk Cloud Platform has been poor. There is a significant possibility we will be replacing it in the next quarter or two."
"There are a lot of functionalities that are missing for Splunk Cloud hosted on GCP but they are available on AWS. Adding more IPs to allow lists and many other functionalities are not supported on Splunk Cloud hosted on GCP. One good example is the ingest action which is not there in Splunk Cloud hosted on GCP. I wish they would add these missing features to the GCP platform."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement, as we used to raise multiple issues via the process, but they pick them up slowly, and the response times are not as prompt as we would like."
"The queries and pulling out the exact reports is a little challenging."
"They need to provide more training options."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"In my opinion, there isn't much to improve in Splunk Cloud Platform, but one suggestion would be to integrate AI or provide a more graphical query builder to reduce the learning curve for new users wanting to learn SPL."
"The licensing cost is the one issue with Splunk Cloud Platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"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."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"I know that Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive product."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"As far as the pricing goes, it was what was expected. It is a premium product. There were no surprises there."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."
"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"We were involved in the renewal process, and our organization does reviews of all our partnerships that we have every two to three years to ensure they are meeting our needs, there isn't a better solution out there, and we won't save money by going somewhere else."
