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

"I think rapid development, geospatial coding, using it to connect to multiple data sources are all good selling points for it."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"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."
"I like the integration, so it's easy to integrate different data sources."
"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"Within an hour or so, we had actually a better visualization of the data."
"It is a product that's easy to learn and understand, with the ability to create dynamic visualizations and various integration options including next-to real-time."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are reporting capabilities. It is a good tool for checking systems and analyzing situations. I find it useful to check my systems and analyze situations."
"I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I prefer most are the correlation engine and the common information model, basically the aggregation of data."
"Splunk provides a free version so you can test it before purchasing."
"The solution's most valuable feature is risk-based alerting, focusing on building out user risks for individuals throughout the enterprise."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped greatly improve the organization's business resilience."
"We previously used ArcSight; Splunk is at another level, as it is easier, more stable, and faster."
 

Cons

"There have been some issues; the product itself is going through the improvement stages and the newer versions seem to be more stable."
"It has some limitations when operating BW data, and has limited functions when mixing different data sources."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"The Cloud/Edge version of SAP Lumira still needs to be more user friendly."
"SAP Lumira's scalability is very limited. Every time we have to involve IT if there is a change in the dashboard."
"From an enterprise supported tool, I find that a little wanting."
"An area of improvement, for sure, is the flexibility of the visualization."
"Each quarterly upgrade has new features, but then existing features tend to break. This is highly frustrating and affects existing Lumira documents."
"The only downside is the pricing."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a costlier tool compared to ArcSight or IBM QRadar."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is great but can have some frustration points. It can sometimes be slower to use."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"We'd like to see a more seamless cloud-based integration."
"At Splunk .conf24, I saw a demo for Splunk Enterprise Security 8. All the things that they have done in Splunk Enterprise Security 8 are what it can be better at."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
 

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."
"I have no opinion on pricing."
"The tool's pricing model is great. You can choose between workloads or volume."
"I believe that Splunk Enterprise Security is worth the price, but it is expensive."
"Splunk is a bit pricier, but the benefits and ROI are huge."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
