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."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."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"The technical support services are good."
"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."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its data modeling."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"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."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"Splunk could improve its default machine-learning models. Also, Splunk Enterprise's native threat intelligence isn't that good. I prefer a custom threat intelligence model."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"The threat detection system has room for improvement."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement."
"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."
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
