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 us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy to import data and also to create formulas and so on, and it made creating charts, especially bubble charts, really easy and very powerful, helping me build impressive metrics for the team around surgery times, supplies used, and expense analysis."
"It seemed to be fairly user friendly."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"I would recommend using SAP Lumira because the development of dashboards is easy, and they have a good look and feel."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"This product is amazing and changes how people think of the relationship between IT and businesses."
"It provides better, more robust ability to visualize data than in Excel or some of the other desktop tools that are out there, providing users the ability to identify actionable trends in their data sets that they normally wouldn't see, like in a spreadsheet or tabular data, a report."
"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"Its ease of usage and its many integrations make it a great product."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has reduced the team's average mean time to resolve by about 70%, with resolution times dropping from between 20 minutes to about an hour to just under 10 minutes using Agentic AI together with Splunk Enterprise Security."
"I really appreciate the all-integrated SIEM feature of Splunk Enterprise Security, which serves as a one-stop shop to get all security tasks done."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."
"The incident review pane is the best part of it because that is where the SOC lives. It is the heartbeat of what the SOC needs to do. You are able to start the investigative process. As you are sitting in the incident review pane, you see the alert, and from that one alert, which is called a notable alert, you can drill in and see all the different specific details that are tied to that."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the incident review, which gives a good overview of our security incidents."
"Its biggest strength is giving organizations real-time visibility into their IT and security environment."
 

Cons

"I think probably what I was trying to do at the time was create some sort of map if you will. I work a lot with freight data, transportation data and I've been trying to find a solution to show volumes and distances out of a specific point so if we've got a distribution center in Dallas, Texas, something that I can just drop the data in and by zip code it will show a heat map of the zip codes that we're shipping to and I don't recall Lumira being able to do that."
"SAP Lumira's scalability is very limited. Every time we have to involve IT if there is a change in the dashboard."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"We definitely encountered issues with stability. We found a lot of bugs throughout the amount of time that we've been using the product."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"An area of improvement, for sure, is the flexibility of the visualization."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"I'm not as familiar as I should be to answer how Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved, however, one of the improvement points that Enterprise Security could offer is on-prem training."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"It would be nice to have more advanced UEBA in Splunk Enterprise Security. Additionally, it would be beneficial if they offered more threat intel feeds for free."
"Search head clustering is often temperamental in its current state and should be improved, replaced by something better, or be reverted to search head pooling."
"Sometimes, the data does not match what we're looking for, or the tool contains incorrect data."
"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."
 

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."
"We have had a reduction in the time it takes to resolve issues and correlate what has failed."
"Splunk is definitely not a cheap solution. It is an expensive product."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
"Be upfront about your needs and expectations. Splunk is great to work with."
"The license for Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"I think we recently switched to the SVC pricing compared to the ingest pricing."
"Some of the insights that we have obtained as a part of using Splunk have greatly helped us in increasing our revenue in terms of selling our products."
