More Sisense Pros →

"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools.""It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature of Splunk for data analysis is its ability to search using SPL and SQL.""The product helps monitor and visualize data.

Cons
"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 solution's setup process could be easier.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""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.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

More Sisense Cons →

"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.""Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company""The Splunk Enterprise Platform has room for improvement, particularly in automating the permissions process during app promotions. Currently, permissions are manually set when different teams request an application move to production, which is time-consuming. Automating this process would streamline operations by automatically assigning the appropriate permissions and roles to specific services or teams, reducing the need to review each request ticket manually.""The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards.""Splunk can be used primarily to port log files, allowing for easy and quick management of large amounts of logs. However, this can also be a drawback due to the configuration, parsing, and dashboard creation limitations. Communication is stream-based, which means you need to do a lot of pre-emptive setup to get a nice export.""The platform is too expensive for small businesses. Splunk should focus more on delivering something for small businesses and entrepreneurs.""There is room for improvement in introducing more AI capabilities onto Splunk Enterprise Platform.""The solution's license cost is high and can be improved."
