We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI 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."The initial setup is easy."
"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."
"There was a lot of manual work involved with Excel, whereas once we moved on to Microsoft Power BI, it was a cleaner dashboard and it was faster too."
"It's a powerful platform."
"Users already using Excel can generate new reports and dashboards within minutes."
"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"It has the ability to correlate data, analyze and review it."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports."
"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"The search lookups are useful."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"I would like to see integration with Excel."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"It is important to make sure that everything is built off of the threat models and all the underlying items within Splunk."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"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."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
