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.

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

"The solution can scale."
"We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized, and implementation time can be reduced because of this."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The technical support services are good."
"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"The most valuable feature I've found in the Splunk Enterprise Platform is its log readability and filtering capabilities. The filters on the left side are particularly useful, allowing me to quickly narrow down the data to what's relevant for any application or server service. The interesting fields feature helps me get the values I need most of the time."
"Otherwise, the overall product is good, its features, its customizability, and scalability are all excellent."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise is a wireless enterprise application that can be customized based on training."
 

Cons

"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"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."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"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."
"he product's initial setup phase needs to be made easy since it looks like it is very complex compared to the other tools in the market."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform could improve in the area of basic log readability. When performing basic searches without advanced filters, the logs often contain timestamps and various unknown codes or other elements that can be confusing. Removing or simplifying these parts would make it easier for users who are not developers or do not have a development background to understand and find relevant information easily."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"From my perspective, Splunk tends to be too expensive for smaller customers."
"When concerning the cost of Splunk Enterprise Platform, the license cost can be a factor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"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."
"The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"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."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
