Regarding Pyramid Analytics' scalability from what I have seen, with the right people managing it, it can handle growing amounts of data and users well.
CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Splunk allows for scalability, as you can start with an all-in-one instance and, as your deployment grows, split it into distributed deployment, such as separating the search head and indexers.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
Some products can automatically scale, but Splunk requires manual configuration changes to achieve scale, which is slightly outdated compared to modern technologies.

Room For Improvement

Pyramid Analytics requires enhancements in data management, user interface, documentation, graphic capabilities, and offers limited training resources.
Splunk Enterprise needs improvements in cost, user interface, scalability, automation, AI features, and better support and integration options.
Any advanced user wants to implement an idea that they have, and while the whole idea of a platform is not necessarily to give a custom solution, I would not mind if they had more in terms of AutoML or that sort of capability.
CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
The deep learning capabilities need enhancing, especially on Splunk Cloud, where customers find it challenging to use deep learning tools without setting up backend computing resources.
Consultant at Artifield
It is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively.
Regional Director at iSecureMind
The cost is the most significant area for improvement in Splunk Enterprise Platform, as it is quite expensive, causing many clients to differ due to this reason.

Setup Cost

Pyramid Analytics offers reasonable licensing costs, cost-effective for mid-sized or larger organizations, but may incur additional consulting fees.
Splunk Enterprise is expensive, with costs based on data ingestion; small businesses often seek alternatives despite a free tier.
The pricing model is based on ingesting data sizes, not user count, and includes a free tier for up to 500 MB of daily data.
Consultant at Artifield
Splunk Enterprise Platform is expensive.
Regional Director at iSecureMind
Regarding pricing, I remember that Splunk is generally more expensive than SIEMs such as Microsoft Sentinel and Securonix, while it is also pricier than Elastic Security.

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.
SOC A2 at Innodata-ISOGEN
The features that have proven most effective for real-time data analysis include parts of the platform and its automation capabilities.

Featured Reviews

Ynazif Nazif - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Unified data workflows have improved reporting quality and now support better decisions
The best features Pyramid Analytics offers include a broad range of features, which I think is one of the advantages of it. It has a lot of connectors and a lot of different capabilities. I would say end-to-end capabilities is one of the nice features of it. Regarding the end-to-end capabilities and lots of connectors, I found the connectors most valuable. If you are trying to do Snowflake, SQL server, or any of the normal database platforms that you see in the cloud or on-premises, it has those connectors built in. You don't have to worry about writing custom drivers. That is a nice feature to have. Pyramid Analytics has impacted my organization positively in that I use it for my clients' organizations. For my organization, it is great because it gives me a technology platform that clients enjoy using and I am proficient with. For my clients, it is about delivering on their aspirations in terms of what they want to do with their data and where they want to head in their organization. This is definitely a tool that we can use in order to get there. After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting. I think that streamlining has a positive effect on the quality of the outputs. The quality of the outputs definitely leads to better decision making.

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.
