Srinivas Prudhivi Reddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to examine the parameters of the events found and take appropriate actions as necessary
Once we've configured our logs, for example, if we need to monitor processes and IP addresses, we ensure these logs are being ingested into our Splunk instance. The logs gathered from various endpoints are then consolidated into our Splunk platform. Once the data is collected, we can create searches and dashboards to analyze it. With these searches and dashboards, we gain insights into events and can make informed decisions based on them. We'll examine the parameters of these events and take appropriate actions as necessary.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The network monitoring feature is particularly valuable for gathering information about users, login times, and other statistics."
"We are focusing on security to ensure incidents are reported efficiently. In addition to that, for reporting purposes, we are utilizing our dashboards or creating new ones. We will be using free visualization tools for this purpose."
"I would have to rate Splunk Security Essentials a 10 out of 10 because it's free and there's tons of usable content."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
 

Cons

"The price could be improved."
"The reporting feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"They could add more AI content or AI and machine learning."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."
"An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
