Featured Reviews

FerranGarcia - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a user-friendly interface and a variety of data visualization tools
My advice to new users considering Qlik Analytics Platform is to carefully assess their data project needs. While Qlik is a solid on-premises platform, the trend in the industry is moving toward cloud-based data solutions, including data warehousing and integration. Cloud data warehouses are often more modern, feature-rich, and scalable. If you are planning to create a new data warehouse in the cloud, it might make sense to also opt for cloud-native integration tools. The tech world is shifting towards cloud-native solutions, which better match the direction most global data projects are heading. Overall, I would rate Qlik Analytics Platform as a seven out of ten.
UzairKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making
I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Qlik Analytics Platform is its Change Data Capture capability."
"Qlik offers you all the features needed to extract the raw data from the source systems including an ETL layer to transform the data and to connect the multiple data sources into one data model, easy data sharing, security and scaling features, dashboards, and report functionality to share your data with your end-users."
"It is a great platform for third party extensions, has an open API, and there are no black boxes."
"Reporting is a valuable feature of the solution."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function."
"I have done health checks several times now, and those have been very valuable in getting more information about what is going on in my platform. There are also recommendations on what is going on in my environment."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"Splunk has sped up our response and reduced the time we spend manually monitoring any logs for ticketing tools or servers. It saves us around two hours daily."
"Dashboarding has been very powerful. I work with a lot of different customers, so being able to tailor the data for different customers has been valuable. I am able to make visuals and have reports where they can self-serve."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
 

Cons

"The user experience needs to be improved."
"One area where Qlik Analytics Platform could be improved is in providing better support for batch processing and traditional ETL workflows."
"It would be great if decentralized teams would have more features to manage the metadata on the dashboards, setup the specific user access rights and rules to govern incoming and outgoing data sets from/to other teams, and more features to separate the different data process layers (e.g. extraction, transformation [data quality, business rules])."
"More freedom for custom visuals and dashboard creation would be an improvement."
"The only disadvantage of Splunk Cloud compared to Splunk Enterprise Security is that you only have two options for long-term storage: AWS S3 Buckets and GCP."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should have better integrations with its suite of tools."
"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform deployment process could be improved to reduce the time required."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the most expensive tool."
"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."
"I do not personally deal with that side, but from discussions, I know that it is one of the more expensive tools. I do not have anything to compare it with."
"It was a good model."
"As far as the pricing goes, it was what was expected. It is a premium product. There were no surprises there."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."
"The certifications are costly."
"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
