Cons
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""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.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""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 Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."

More Sisense Cons →

"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it.""Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky.""The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.""The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating.""Features related to content management must be improved.""It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers.""Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex.""I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
