Sisense vs Splunk Cloud Platform comparison

"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."

"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."

"A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."

"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."

"This solution is easy to learn how to use."

"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."

"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."

"The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."

"he cloud performance is good."

"Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."

"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."

"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."

"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature."

"This is a complete log reporting tool."

"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."

"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."

"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."

"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."

"The solution's setup process could be easier."

"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."

"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."

"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."

"Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."

"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."

"The only disadvantage of Splunk Cloud compared to Splunk Enterprise Security is that you only have two options for long-term storage: AWS S3 Buckets and GCP."

"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."

"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."

"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS."

"This solution is more expensive than Tableau, Qlik and Dundas. It is an expensive tool. They charge $75,000 while Tableau is $45,000."

"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."

"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."

"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."

"It was a good model."

"The certifications are costly."

"It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."

"The price is something that people complain about."

"The cost makes more sense for organizations that have a large amount of data ranges."
