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.
Mohammed Hassan - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data analysis benefits but automation in role creation needs improvement
Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive. The features that have proven most effective for real-time data analysis include parts of the platform and its automation capabilities. However, I want them to enhance their automation to cover every aspect, particularly the automation of roles creation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Qlik Analytics Platform is its Change Data Capture capability."
"Reporting is a valuable feature of the solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part."
"Overall, I rate Splunk Enterprise Platform ten out of ten."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform is that it's a customizable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Splunk Enterprise enhances data analytics with its AI capabilities."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive."
 

Cons

"One area where Qlik Analytics Platform could be improved is in providing better support for batch processing and traditional ETL workflows."
"The user experience needs to be improved."
"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 product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"The platform is too expensive for small businesses. Splunk should focus more on delivering something for small businesses and entrepreneurs."
"There should be continuous customer engagement and training programs on the new features and capabilities introduced by the solution."
"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."
"Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform should include more integrations with other security tools."
"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."
"The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the most expensive tool."
"The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"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."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
