Featured Reviews

Enrique Pacheco Salinas - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced analytics facilitate strategy development but demand specialized expertise and better support
Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. However, skilled personnel are needed to operate it effectively due to its complexity. In addition, the brand name carries significant value as many large companies and banks are familiar with Oracle.
Kundan Nagare - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent data analysis and visualization capabilities
I use the Platform to monitor my IT infrastructure. There are apps for Linux and Windows servers that capture performance metrics like CPU and memory usage. These metrics are collected and sent to the blank index through forwarders. Splunk helps with security information and event management by detecting and monitoring network equipment and firewalls. It saves searches for specific terms, like threats, in firewall logs. When a match is found, it alerts about potential security breaches, helping to detect and address them. The real-time processing capability in Splunk enhances data monitoring by centrally collecting all data. This allows for easy searching and scheduling of searches, reducing the need for manual intervention. The dashboard and visualization features in Splunk impact data analysis by providing a clear status of data analysis. Users can create customized views for management, helping them understand what is happening within the infrastructure more effectively. I would recommend Splunk to others, especially from the CIM perspective. Its data analysis and visualization capabilities are unmatched, making it an excellent choice for SIM. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The solution can scale."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the load balancing technique, the forwarding technique, and SSL certification."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"Splunk Enterprise is a wireless enterprise application that can be customized based on training."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure solution."
 

Cons

"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"While Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good product, it is expensive. Additionally, it is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively."
"Firstly, integration with different cloud platforms could be enhanced."
"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
"Sometimes, queries don't give proper results, and the indexes go down."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I've noticed areas for improvement, particularly in support. Developers typically interact with support personnel who may lack technical expertise when raising support tickets. This can result in delays as initial interactions involve sharing documents before escalation to higher support levels."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"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."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion."
