Enhanced analytics through metadata-driven reporting with enterprise-level visualizations enables competitive advantage

In my opinion, what can be better in Oracle Analytics Cloud these days is primarily about pricing. I am from the Czech Republic, which is our main market. The situation here in the Czech Republic is that Power BI rules the world. There are two main reasons for this. First, speaking about the Czech Republic specifically, and second, the Power BI pricing model appears cheaper compared to Oracle Analytics Cloud. The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment.

Built-in searches and unified data access streamline alert investigation and boosts analyst efficiency

The two features I appreciate the most in Splunk Enterprise Security are the built-in searches, which have been very easy for us to get started with right out of the box, and the fact that it accesses all of our other systems. You can access it as a pane of glass rather than having to search individually. We also have the option to compare our analysts from our service to service. Splunk Enterprise Security helps our SOC team prioritize and investigate high-fidelity alerts more effectively by providing a more in-depth look and the ability to access a lot more of our data. Instead of jumping from several segmented systems, it allows us to have everything brought together in one place. For example, you have to move from our purview to our build system and to Splunk Enterprise Security, and it enables us to streamline that process. The built-in features of Splunk Enterprise Security, which we recently procured, have given us a good starting point and demonstrated the value of the product, providing an easy way to sell it to our company. The ease of getting everything into our purview helps us, and it serves as a good start for the investigation part in one location rather than what we usually have, which is jumping from system to system to system. Splunk Enterprise Security plays a role in our company's strategy to combat insider threats and advanced persistent threats by currently being in its technical test phase. We are still rolling it out, and it should help us find any insider threats based on information that our policy states should not be present in our system. Splunk Enterprise Security's risk-based alerting (RBA) has impacted our alert volume and analyst productivity because we've got many different systems feeding into it. However, it has helped to make it easier for our analysts to go through a set of events rather than 100 alerts. RBA allows us to streamline the process and customize it for our analysts. When it comes to leveraging Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards and visualizations to communicate security posture to executives, it's pretty straightforward for any type of information. The visualization is easy to understand, but I haven't had any direct conversations with our executives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This is a stable and scalable solution."

"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."

"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."

"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."

"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."

"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."

"The technical support services are good."

"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"The biggest advantage I can see in Splunk Enterprise Security is the big data analytics."

"Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."

"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."

"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."

"The search engine and indexes are fast and optimized, and the report generation dashboard is user-friendly."

"The alerts are very effective."

"I have also been able to take advantage of some of the more complex statistical capabilities when analyzing logs."

"Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pros

Cons

"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."

"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."

"It is less scalable than Snowflake."

"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."

"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."

"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."

"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"The product is relatively expensive."

"The user interface feels clunky to navigate and interact with in Splunk Enterprise Security compared to other case management solutions where it feels easier to use at a high level."

"Their technical support sucks."

"The solution could use a different licensing model."

"The way Splunk Enterprise Security could improve is by pulling in and mapping my DHCP data and tracking users' IP addresses as it changes throughout sessions, and being able to keep track of who is actually assigned to what IP address more natively."

"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."

"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."

"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly cost-effective solution"

"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."

"It is an expensive platform."

"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Splunk Enterprise Security is affordable."

"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."

"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."

"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."

"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."

"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."

"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
