Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""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.""This solution is easy to learn how to use.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud.""The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources.""Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs.""The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."

More Sisense Pros →

"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems.""The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening.""We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health.""It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar.""Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs.""We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive.""Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."

Cons
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""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.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""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."

More Sisense Cons →

"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier.""Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help.""Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements.""There is a definite learning curve to starting out.""Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better.""It would be good if the solution had some kind of copilot to automate or help write correlation searches.""Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly.""The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
