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.

Kundan Nagare - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent data analysis and visualization capabilities
I use the Platform to monitor my IT infrastructure. There are apps for Linux and Windows servers that capture performance metrics like CPU and memory usage. These metrics are collected and sent to the blank index through forwarders. Splunk helps with security information and event management by detecting and monitoring network equipment and firewalls. It saves searches for specific terms, like threats, in firewall logs. When a match is found, it alerts about potential security breaches, helping to detect and address them. The real-time processing capability in Splunk enhances data monitoring by centrally collecting all data. This allows for easy searching and scheduling of searches, reducing the need for manual intervention. The dashboard and visualization features in Splunk impact data analysis by providing a clear status of data analysis. Users can create customized views for management, helping them understand what is happening within the infrastructure more effectively. I would recommend Splunk to others, especially from the CIM perspective. Its data analysis and visualization capabilities are unmatched, making it an excellent choice for SIM. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"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."
"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."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"Splunk's real-time processing capability has been pretty good for my use cases."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good tool to have, but it is expensive."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
"It can handle large datasets, swiftly consolidating outputs from every server and device across the network."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the load balancing technique, the forwarding technique, and SSL certification."
"From a stability perspective, the tool is good."

Cons

"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"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's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"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."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"It's not easy or feasible to reach out to Splunk directly."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"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."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"The tool lacked in providing a shareable format. I had to use pivot tables and manually parse and edit the data to create a visualization-friendly format. It was helpful when we had an issue. What would make it stronger is if it were more proactive. For example, if it highlighted major incidents and their impact on users without digging through notifications, that would be better. Typically, the first question we get is, "Oh, we had an incident. How bad was it? How many customers were impacted?" So having that information pop up from the notification would be helpful."
"Based on my experience, I've noticed areas for improvement, particularly in support. Developers typically interact with support personnel who may lack technical expertise when raising support tickets. This can result in delays as initial interactions involve sharing documents before escalation to higher support levels."
"Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
"Things have to be managed manually"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"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."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"I have heard from my managers that 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."
"Product pricing is typically annual, and discounts are often available for longer-term commitments."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool."
