Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

Dundas Dashboard reliably scales for numerous users and markets, maintaining performance, especially with SSAS, despite multi-server implementation challenges.
Sentiment score
7.7
Splunk Enterprise Platform excels in scalability, efficiently handling data growth and supporting seamless expansion for enterprises despite some cost concerns.
Splunk allows for scalability, as you can start with an all-in-one instance and, as your deployment grows, split it into distributed deployment, such as separating the search head and indexers.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
It is highly stable and scalable for us.
Dev Ops And Observability Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
In a day we get millions of hits for the APIs.

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
8.4
Splunk Enterprise is a reliable, robust platform for log collection and security, with minor performance issues in specific environments.
Our L1 and L2 teams get real-time alerts and query the SPL effectively without delays that other SIEM solutions may impose.

It is highly stable and scalable for us.
Dev Ops And Observability Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
It requires managing configuration files and processing operations manually, limiting its auto-scaling capabilities.

Room For Improvement

Dundas Dashboard needs better parameters, alternative to Silverlight, expanded visualizations, enhanced UI, easier installation, and improved documentation.
Splunk Enterprise needs UI enhancement, cost reduction, better AI, streamlined data handling, and improved training for user satisfaction.
The deep learning capabilities need enhancing, especially on Splunk Cloud, where customers find it challenging to use deep learning tools without setting up backend computing resources.
Consultant at Artifield
I could also build some pre-indexed summaries so that Splunk Enterprise Platform can search much faster than raw logs.
security engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
From an architectural standpoint, data onboarding, normalization, performance, and scalability improvements would be beneficial, particularly in optimizing search speed and query execution to handle larger searches efficiently.

Setup Cost

Splunk's robust features are costly for high data needs, but flexible pricing and managed services offer some relief.
The pricing model is based on ingesting data sizes, not user count, and includes a free tier for up to 500 MB of daily data.
Consultant at Artifield
We ingest terabytes of data, so I can say Splunk Enterprise Platform is somewhat costly.
Dev Ops And Observability Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The platform's ability to consolidate siloed tools into a single pane of glass provides immense value justifying the premium cost if the architecture is tightly managed.
Managed Security Services Associate at Accenture
 

Valuable Features

Dundas Dashboard excels in customization, ease of data integration, and offers interactive features, creative design, and helpful resources.
Splunk Enterprise enhances data analysis and incident response with powerful search, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration for improved operations.
Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR, which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool.
SOC A2 at Innodata-ISOGEN
The anomaly detection is very good for live production data. Whenever an anomaly comes in an application, it automatically resolves and just gives the notification.
Technical Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Splunk Enterprise Platform will create an incident and detect this as a credential compromise because we have a successful login from another location.

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.
Koyena Paul - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized security monitoring has transformed our threat detection and incident response
While Splunk Enterprise Platform is widely regarded as a powerful SIEM and observability platform, users across enterprises commonly report recurring challenges including licensing and data ingestion costs. Splunk Enterprise Platform's licensing is often based on the volume of data ingested, and as our organization grows, costs can increase significantly, and our teams may need to carefully decide which logs to ingest, which can limit visibility. A suggested improvement would be more flexible licensing options, better built-in recommendations for optimizing data ingestion, and smarter data compression or tiered pricing. There is also a steep learning curve where beginners can find SPL difficult. A suggested improvement would be more AI-assisted SPL generation, interactive tutorials, and guided dashboard creation with additional pre-built templates for common SOC use cases. These are the main areas for improvement that I can see: licensing flexibility, reducing the learning curve for new users, simplifying development, improving performance for very large datasets, and providing more AI-assisted features to reduce manual effort. In terms of adding more improvements, there are frequently discussed areas including easier third-party integrations. While Splunk Enterprise Platform supports many integrations, onboarding new security tools sometimes requires custom configurations or add-ons. A suggested improvement would be more plug-and-play integrations, faster support for new vendors, and then simplified administration. Administrators often manage indexes, forwarders, user roles, and cluster health, so a suggested improvement would be easier administration dashboards and automated health checks. These are suggestions that acknowledge Splunk Enterprise Platform's strengths while highlighting areas where many enterprise users see opportunities for further improvement. The primary areas for improvement that I see are licensing flexibility, simplifying administration, expanding plug-and-play integrations, and adding more AI-driven assistance for searches and investigations. These improvements would significantly simplify our tasks and help us solve more incidents in a lesser amount of time, making it flexible even for beginners.
