Enhanced analytics through metadata-driven reporting with enterprise-level visualizations enables competitive advantage

In my opinion, what can be better in Oracle Analytics Cloud these days is primarily about pricing. I am from the Czech Republic, which is our main market. The situation here in the Czech Republic is that Power BI rules the world. There are two main reasons for this. First, speaking about the Czech Republic specifically, and second, the Power BI pricing model appears cheaper compared to Oracle Analytics Cloud. 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.

Built-in searches and unified data access streamline alert investigation and boosts analyst efficiency

The two features I appreciate the most in Splunk Enterprise Security are the built-in searches, which have been very easy for us to get started with right out of the box, and the fact that it accesses all of our other systems. You can access it as a pane of glass rather than having to search individually. We also have the option to compare our analysts from our service to service. Splunk Enterprise Security helps our SOC team prioritize and investigate high-fidelity alerts more effectively by providing a more in-depth look and the ability to access a lot more of our data. Instead of jumping from several segmented systems, it allows us to have everything brought together in one place. For example, you have to move from our purview to our build system and to Splunk Enterprise Security, and it enables us to streamline that process. The built-in features of Splunk Enterprise Security, which we recently procured, have given us a good starting point and demonstrated the value of the product, providing an easy way to sell it to our company. The ease of getting everything into our purview helps us, and it serves as a good start for the investigation part in one location rather than what we usually have, which is jumping from system to system to system. Splunk Enterprise Security plays a role in our company's strategy to combat insider threats and advanced persistent threats by currently being in its technical test phase. We are still rolling it out, and it should help us find any insider threats based on information that our policy states should not be present in our system. Splunk Enterprise Security's risk-based alerting (RBA) has impacted our alert volume and analyst productivity because we've got many different systems feeding into it. However, it has helped to make it easier for our analysts to go through a set of events rather than 100 alerts. RBA allows us to streamline the process and customize it for our analysts. When it comes to leveraging Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards and visualizations to communicate security posture to executives, it's pretty straightforward for any type of information. The visualization is easy to understand, but I haven't had any direct conversations with our executives.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."

"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."

"This is a stable and scalable solution."

"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."

"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."

"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"

"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."

"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."

"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."

"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."

"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"

"I evaluate customer service and technical support as great."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its data modeling."

"I like Splunk's automated threat detection and orchestration capabilities. Splunk offers a single solution for analyzing, aggregating, correlating, monitoring, reporting, visualizing, etc. You can get all of these capabilities in one place. On top of that, it provides a cloud, testing, on-premise, and hybrid solution, giving customers more flexibility for their use cases."

"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."

More Splunk Enterprise Security 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."

"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

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

"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 solution could be more flexible."

"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."

"It is less scalable than Snowflake."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"Splunk Enterprise Security could be cheaper."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is complicated in terms of developing specific cybersecurity use cases."

"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."

"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."

"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."

"Their technical support sucks."

"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."

"The incident response technique should be available out of the box. That isn't as available as we would expect."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"It is an expensive platform."

"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 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."

"A highly cost-effective solution"

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Splunk should be able to integrate with other product using the free version."

"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."

"The pricing model is expensive and a nightmare based on the amount of data."

"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."

"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."

"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is priced lower than competitors."

"The price of Splunk is reasonable."
