We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"Inter Process Communication."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"Some of the dashboard capabilities are good. The dashboard capabilities that tell you what kind of reports are available and provide you a summary of the reports are valuable. It is easy to navigate and easy to download reports into Excel to utilize them."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"Splunk needs local technical support."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
