Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"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."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"The tool helps with advanced reports and keeps the system scalable and flexible. It provides a clear picture of the current status of any incidents. As a CISO, I see a lot of potential for future innovation, which is interesting. I've noticed better performance, especially with the reports."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"I love the solution, but I would like to see more accessibility to the machine-learning capabilities that are sprinkled around Splunk."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
