It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent

I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Helps to monitor logs from various sources but improvement is needed in support

The product helps monitor and visualize data. It allows you to handle various tasks. You can store, visualize, and analyze data with the Splunk Enterprise Platform. It offers features like virtual folders and heavy folders for filtering data. Additionally, you can create dashboards to showcase data to different teams and stakeholders. The tool also enables the creation of analytics and alerts and sends reports, making it a valuable tool for our system. The dashboard and visualization features are good for data analysis. With features like the Studio dashboard introduced in versions 8 to 9, users find it much easier to create dashboards without knowledge of languages like XML.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."

"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."

"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."

"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."

"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."

"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."

"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform is that it's a customizable solution."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the analytics part."

"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."

"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."

"It can handle large datasets, swiftly consolidating outputs from every server and device across the network."

"The best thing about Splunk is you can collect all the data you want, and you can play with the data and do what you want."

"The product helps monitor and visualize data. It allows you to handle various tasks. You can store, visualize, and analyze data with the Splunk Enterprise Platform.

Cons

"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."

"It needs an easier printing feature."

"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."

"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."

"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."

"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."

"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."

"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"

"Splunk Enterprise Platform should include more integrations with other security tools."

"Things have to be managed manually"

"There should be continuous customer engagement and training programs on the new features and capabilities introduced by the solution."

"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."

"The tool lacked in providing a shareable format. I had to use pivot tables and manually parse and edit the data to create a visualization-friendly format. It was helpful when we had an issue. What would make it stronger is if it were more proactive. For example, if it highlighted major incidents and their impact on users without digging through notifications, that would be better. Typically, the first question we get is, "Oh, we had an incident. How bad was it? How many customers were impacted?" So having that information pop up from the notification would be helpful."

"The product doesn’t have prebuilt dashboards."

"Splunk Enterprise Platform could improve in the area of basic log readability. When performing basic searches without advanced filters, the logs often contain timestamps and various unknown codes or other elements that can be confusing. Removing or simplifying these parts would make it easier for users who are not developers or do not have a development background to understand and find relevant information easily."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."

"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."

"The solution’s pricing is moderate."

"The tool is expensive."

"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."

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

"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."

"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."

"The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion."
