Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive."
"Search language is easy to understand and teach to new users."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"The Web Editing capabilities allow us to grant end users enough capabilities for them to do self-serve discovery without the added cost of needing to get everyone desktop licenses."
"The most valuable feature is the drag and drop, then the simplicity to build dashboards which allows us to provide more usable data to our customers."
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"The Enterprise Security app could be improved. We have had trouble with it working from the first day."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"It is not so great when it comes to data exchange/integration, data mining, etc."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"I have noticed that Tableau is not very compatible with ClickHouse. There's no direct connection to ClickHouse; you have to set up an ODBC connection."
