Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
"The data representation options in the dashboards are excellent."
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"Exporting is a good feature. It helps me out when I have to do reports. I do a lot of exporting and crunching of the numbers. Dashboards are okay for showing to the leadership, but for doing statistics and updating tickets, the export feature is very beneficial for me."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
