Cons
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."

More Sisense Cons →

"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.""One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives.""My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it.""Better directions on search head clusters.""The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.""We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased.""Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market.""The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
