Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.3
Dundas Dashboard enhanced collaboration and transparency, proving cost-effective with $0.50/hour usage and positive user feedback.
Sentiment score
5.0
Splunk Cloud Platform offers varied ROI experiences, with notable cost savings, efficiency, and productivity, despite perceived high expenses by some.
We did not have a good experience with the Devo toolset, leading to efficiency gains from SOC tier one all the way to tier three in searches, reducing search time and fewer errors compared to Devo, resulting in great optimization.
Director at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Overall, our spend is about the same for much better capabilities.
Global Lead SIEM Engineer at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We have observed between five to seven percent of the overall enterprise-wide applications that were flagged for frequent analysis and necessary cleanup, which saved my SVCs and licenses, ultimately translating to significant cost savings for my organization.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.4
Dundas Dashboard customer service is praised for prompt and effective support, though some report limited out-of-hours assistance.
Sentiment score
6.6
Splunk Cloud Platform's customer service is effective and knowledgeable, though users sometimes experience slow response times and require escalations.
I feel that Splunk's documentation is highly maintained, regular updates seem to happen, and I don't have any suggestions for improvement as it is currently at its best.
Security Engineer at Payatu
However, as I mentioned, sometimes they might not have proper knowledge or sometimes they are not sufficiently technical.
Senior Information Technology Security Consultant at Mideast Data Systems
The CSMs and account managers in the channel team are great, providing assistance not just with selling the product but also for implementation, deployment, and aftercare.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Dundas Dashboard reliably scales for numerous users and markets, maintaining performance, especially with SSAS, despite multi-server implementation challenges.
Sentiment score
6.7
Splunk Cloud Platform is scalable, adaptable to demand, supports scaling, but concerns about cost and resource limitations exist.
If we have compliance requirements to just store logs, then Splunk Cloud Platform is not the right platform.
Consultant at Principal Financial Group
If you purchase something initially and later have increased requirements, they can scale up and scale down your environment.
Senior Information Technology Security Consultant at Mideast Data Systems
Splunk Cloud Platform's scalability works well, especially for smaller businesses, but can present issues for larger enterprises facing stricter regulations and greater integration requirements.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.0
Dundas Dashboard generally stable but can slow under heavy loads; occasional crashes and obscure errors hinder reliability.
Sentiment score
7.8
Splunk Cloud Platform is stable and reliable, with occasional performance issues mainly during upgrades or heavy data loads.
Its stability is commendable, enabling easy visibility into logs, effective data ingestion, and successful operations with diverse integrations and third-party platforms.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
This is usually improved by following best practices such as optimizing SPL queries, using the proper index, and managing data correctly.
Software engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I rate Splunk Cloud Platform a ten out of ten for stability and reliability.
Security Engineer at Payatu
 

Room For Improvement

Dundas Dashboard needs better parameters, alternative to Silverlight, expanded visualizations, enhanced UI, easier installation, and improved documentation.
Users seek improvements in Splunk Cloud's usability, integration, AI, dashboards, customization, pricing clarity, onboarding, and scalability.
I know there are tutorials on the website, but I feel if they rolled out more free courses on such things that provide a link to a free course for beginner training, I feel people would be interested in it.
Data Security Intern at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
In terms of enhancement for Splunk Cloud Platform, I would say if we could create add-ons or if we get the capability to build add-ons directly through cloud, not talking about the add-on builder framework, but something editor-like where we will directly edit our conf files from any specific app or TA provided by Splunk Cloud Platform itself.
Splunk Engineer at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
I would suggest going for Splunk Cloud Platform because AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are very expensive in comparison.
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
 

Setup Cost

Splunk Cloud Platform is seen as pricey but valued for features, with cost variances depending on data volume and licensing.
Once you are in the partnership with Splunk Cloud Platform and with Cisco, you can have good discounts, you can make the deal and discuss, and they are willing to help you as a partner in finding the solution and finding your target.
Innovation Service Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
When it comes to the cost of Splunk Cloud Platform, I would rate it a five from one to ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.
Project Manager at Crest Data Systems
If you really need the SIEM solution, then it is very cost-effective for your company.
Angular developer at Flourish software
 

Valuable Features

Dundas Dashboard excels in customization, ease of data integration, and offers interactive features, creative design, and helpful resources.
Splunk Cloud Platform enhances data operations with powerful analytics, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration, improving efficiency and reducing workload.
The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs.
Sr Manager at Continued
The search capability utilizes the same compute assigned, and compared to on-premises, it is very efficient and fast because on-premises we had fixed compute assigned with limits set for searching per role or application.
Senior Software Engineer at WorldPay US
The platform's alerting mechanism is valuable, as there is software that makes alarms in case of attacks.
Chief Executive Officer at ENAD

Featured Reviews

Data Analytics Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
It's useful for reporting on IoT KPIs, but it isn't as robust or user-friendly as some competing solutions
I was a little disappointed in Dundas. I found other tools like Tableau and Power BI to be more powerful. I intended to use Dundus as an organizational BI tool, but I think there's a significant learning curve with Dundas versus the others. The user experience and UI could also improve. It should be simpler for end users who don't have much technical knowledge. I have an IT background, but I think it might be challenging for anyone who is unfamiliar with databases.
reviewer2805510 - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes
Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.
