Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively

RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

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

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

Pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."

"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."

"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."

"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."

"We use Splunk Cloud primarily as a troubleshooting tool, so the most valuable features are the analysis and visualization."

"I like the fact that we do not have to maintain all the cloud infrastructure. That is probably the main thing about the Splunk Cloud Platform."

"In an enterprise, you need a universal or heavy forwarder. If you don't have that, you need an HSE token or API request call and all the different components. In Splunk Cloud, you just have one instance to search all the data in your index. You don't need to manage it because Splunk handles that."

"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."

"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."

"It would be nice to see more comparisons between Splunk and other log management tools. There are some legacy tools that people are often coming off. It will ease the transition if you are coming off a Windows LogViewer or any other logging tool. Splunk could offer more advice on how to transition into it or onboard it."

"The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to."

"Splunk Cloud Platform should have better integrations with its suite of tools."

"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."

"They need to provide more training options."

"Splunk Cloud's SVC licensing model lacks transparency."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."

"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."
