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.
UzairKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers financial benefits and operational efficiency with impactful data analytics capabilities
My advice for those looking to implement Splunk Enterprise Platform is to know the product well and have hands-on workshops or create a lab to gain complete knowledge before proceeding. Regarding maintenance, it does not require much as it is on-premises. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The technical support services are good."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"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."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
"Splunk Enterprise enhances data analytics with its AI capabilities."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions."
"It's not just one feature I like the most. Every person wants to collect and rate logs, and I value how the Splunk Enterprise Platform handles this.The most valuable part for us is setting up the alerts and reports to manage the logs and log metrics. We use it to support every tool across the entire bank.We are the ones who manage all the data, and if there's any issue, everything depends on the Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL."
"Easy setup and maintenance"
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Platform include its performance, ease of implementation, and user interface, which are superior compared to other on-premises products."
"The best thing about Splunk is you can collect all the data you want, and you can play with the data and do what you want."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"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."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"The only problem I have with Splunk Enterprise Platform is that sometimes when I update a review, it takes time to receive confirmation emails."
"Sometimes, queries don't give proper results, and the indexes go down."
"The Splunk Enterprise Platform has room for improvement, particularly in automating the permissions process during app promotions. Currently, permissions are manually set when different teams request an application move to production, which is time-consuming. Automating this process would streamline operations by automatically assigning the appropriate permissions and roles to specific services or teams, reducing the need to review each request ticket manually."
"The Splunk Processing Language (SPL) poses a steep learning curve for new users."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"Splunk could improve by enhancing its graphical view functionality. Compared to other BI tools, Splunk's graphic features are limited; customers desire detailed, rich visual effects, like world maps showing threat attacks as animations."
"Firstly, integration with different cloud platforms could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion."
"The tool is expensive."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"Product pricing is typically annual, and discounts are often available for longer-term commitments."
"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."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"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."
