Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."
"Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving"
"Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."
"Dashboards and alerting are the most valuable features. The dashboards let us see how the system looks in terms of anomalies, and the alerts trigger us to go and look at what possible problems are happening."
"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"Tableau has comprehensive, insightful charts, which allow you to build stunning dashboards and enrich your support decision-making."
"You are able to see and follow trends."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"It's easy to use."
"It is so easy to do a lot of things. There is a lot of flexibility and creativity in this product. In other products, you don't have this flexibility."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."
"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."
"I would like to have the product be more flexible in terms of creating online shared dashboards."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
"There should be more widgets that would help less trained individuals create charts with less difficulty."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."
