It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"It seemed to be fairly user friendly."
"I would recommend using SAP Lumira because the development of dashboards is easy, and they have a good look and feel."
"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."
"We’ve created several dashboards that display large sets of data in an insightful and easily digestible way."
"The dynamic creation of dashboards and the quick visualization is the key feature."
"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."
"This product is amazing and changes how people think of the relationship between IT and businesses."
"The community marketplace is useful; often, you do not need to rely on Splunk Enterprise Security support due to the wealth of online documentation available—Splunk docs are truly beneficial."
"Splunk Enterprise Security gives us a single pane of glass so that we can use just one tool instead of having to use different tools."
"Splunk was good for us because of the support, the documentation, the scalability, the stability."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"It's extremely scalable, it's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"When we use a centralized log monitoring system we can see things on the dashboard and it is easier for the IT manager or an IT engineer to take corrective action in the system."
"Splunk can quickly be deployed and it's not difficult to learn the solution."
 

Cons

"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It has some limitations when operating BW data, and has limited functions when mixing different data sources."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"SAP Lumira's scalability is very limited. Every time we have to involve IT if there is a change in the dashboard."
"An area of improvement, for sure, is the flexibility of the visualization."
"I think probably what I was trying to do at the time was create some sort of map if you will. I work a lot with freight data, transportation data and I've been trying to find a solution to show volumes and distances out of a specific point so if we've got a distribution center in Dallas, Texas, something that I can just drop the data in and by zip code it will show a heat map of the zip codes that we're shipping to and I don't recall Lumira being able to do that."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce my team's average mean time to resolve, as they find it hard to use Splunk, and they are more used to Sentinel."
"I'd like a dashboard that allows me to connect elements through drag-and-drop functionality."
"Their sales support and tech support are really bad. They take really long to respond."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"Splunk is not free."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
