Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"The technical support services are good."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"Splunk's interface is user-friendly, and it has apps and add-ons for most applications. We can easily normalize the data to make it readable and understand the logs. We easily get all the field extractions and enrichment done by using the apps and add-ons. This helps us understand the application logs because the raw data is useless unless we extract some useful information from it. These add-ons make it so much easier."
"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."
"The most valuable feature is the custom dashboard feature."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its data modeling."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
"The price has room for improvement."
"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"Although the technical support is adequate, there is still room for improvement."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
