We performed a comparison between SAS Visual Analytics and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"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."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"The metrics and trends that Splunk Enterprise Security generates using all the data points we send allow customers to understand better what their users are doing."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive."
"One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to transact in the cloud and its ability to onboard data easily with minimum connectors."
"The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data."
"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 licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"I love the solution, but I would like to see more accessibility to the machine-learning capabilities that are sprinkled around Splunk."
"Splunk needs local technical support."
"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication."
"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."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
