We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."
"All the visualizations have been so valuable."
"From siloed reports, we went to a centralized knowledge hub, combining cross-functional data, and helping decision-makers see the data as a whole, therefore making more informed decisions."
"It is simple to develop, which is good."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"Error handling is an area that needs to be improved."
"Ad-hoc reporting capabilities would be ideal."
"There are occasional stability problems, but Qlik support is excellent at correcting anything that arises."
"Qlik Sense is working very well on going to low code and development. They are trying to make their environment more user-friendly. However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training. This does not make sense to me because training should be free because the more you learn about the tool the more you use it and the more you are loyal to the company and want to continue usage."
"They should generally focus more on the evolution of current capabilities rather than doing everything but only at 50% effectiveness."
"The one thing I would probably try to add is some kind of tutorial since the tool has a lot of options to work with, and for someone who is just starting and does not have any prior experience, it can be a little overwhelming."
"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
"Ability for the administrator to approve Community Sheets in the QMC and then move them into base sheets."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
