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

More Qlik Analytics Platform Pros →

"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial.""Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature.""It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its flexibility and readiness because it's already prebuilt, and everything is click-to-go.""The log search capabilities are very good.""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."

Cons
"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 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."

"Support could be improved.""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.""It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale.""The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
