Featured Reviews

Rafal Zaborowski - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
UzairKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers financial benefits and operational efficiency with impactful data analytics capabilities
My advice for those looking to implement Splunk Enterprise Platform is to know the product well and have hands-on workshops or create a lab to gain complete knowledge before proceeding. Regarding maintenance, it does not require much as it is on-premises. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Beautiful visualizations."
"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."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"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."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"It's not just one feature I like the most. Every person wants to collect and rate logs, and I value how the Splunk Enterprise Platform handles this.The most valuable part for us is setting up the alerts and reports to manage the logs and log metrics. We use it to support every tool across the entire bank.We are the ones who manage all the data, and if there's any issue, everything depends on the Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"The product is very easy to use."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Platform include its performance, ease of implementation, and user interface, which are superior compared to other on-premises products."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL."
"From a stability perspective, the tool is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
 

Cons

"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira 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 Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"Things have to be managed manually"
"The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
"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."
"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."
"While Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good product, it is expensive. Additionally, it is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively."
"The Splunk Processing Language (SPL) poses a steep learning curve for new users."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"Firstly, integration with different cloud platforms could be enhanced."
 

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."
"The tool is expensive."
"Product pricing is typically annual, and discounts are often available for longer-term commitments."
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
"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."
