Muhammed Shafad - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with efficient data set creation features
It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category. Our customers want to improve the business into a SaaS model. They analyze the telecom-based transaction data with SaaS, including the number of subscribers, usage of 4G and 5G networks, etc. The platform improved data analysis for our customers by providing a visualization library. We can drag visualization graphs to create weekly sessions. There is no need to implement any extra coding. It has no code interface allowing us to track the dimensions and measure the canvas. It automatically generates the chat once we select the graph. The most efficient features are data set creation and data manipulation. We can directly use the raw data table and summarize it dynamically by processing the data manipulation window. SQL Editor enhances the data scoring process, helping us write queries directly during dashboard discrepancy issues. We can store the query for future analysis as well. It enables a customizable integration with other data sources. The main benefit of using the product is the ability to access the data source without using any coding. Any user can create reports easily with minimal training. I recommend Apache Superset for customers who are considering open-source vendors. I rate it an eight out of ten.

AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making
I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"The benefits I have seen from using Apache Superset for the business team are that they have been able to look at the numbers easily, log into the portal, and look at different dashboards, which are at different granularities."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"In an enterprise, you need a universal or heavy forwarder. If you don't have that, you need an HSE token or API request call and all the different components. In Splunk Cloud, you just have one instance to search all the data in your index. You don't need to manage it because Splunk handles that."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."
"I like the idea of being able to list the IPs that we want without having to open up a ticket to get it done so that way if anything changes we can add a new IP."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"Splunk has sped up our response and reduced the time we spend manually monitoring any logs for ticketing tools or servers. It saves us around two hours daily."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions."
 

Cons

"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"Extracting meaningful insights beyond essential log data proves challenging due to the product's reliance on manual processes."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"We were involved in the renewal process, and our organization does reviews of all our partnerships that we have every two to three years to ensure they are meeting our needs, there isn't a better solution out there, and we won't save money by going somewhere else."
"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."
"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."
"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."
"We were on ingest. We were on-prem, and when we switched to the cloud, we went to an SVC model, and that has been a huge help. We are now able to ingest more data than before."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."
