9 Best Data Analysis Tools to Work With in 2024

Data analysis is crucial in today's businesses and organizations. With the increasing amount of data being created at 328.77 million terabytes of data per day, and them being readily available to most businesses, having efficient tools that can help analyze and interpret this data effectively is essential. In this article, we will discuss the top 9 best data analysis tools currently used in the market today.

The Leading Data Dashboard Examples

As organizations produce a significant amount of data from varying sources, simple analytics tools can make it challenging and time-consuming to derive insights from this data. Data dashboards can assist with this. A data dashboard is a visual representation of data that offers an at-a-glance view of key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and other important information relevant to a particular business, organization, or process.

A New Approach to the Service Model in the Data Industry

In this livestream, I had a great discussion with Paul Stout and Scott Gray from nth degree about how the service model has evolved from a focus on time and materials to outcome-based services. Watch the full conversation here and leave with a roadmap for improving your next service engagement. Security teams often have a love-hate relationship with onboarding new tools.

Elastic Universal Profiling™ agent is now open source! The industry’s most advanced fleetwide continuous profiling solution empowers users to identify performance bottlenecks, reduce cloud spend, and minimize their carbon footprint. This post explores the history of the agent, its move to open source, and its future integration with OpenTelemetry.

How to Calculate Log Analytics ROI

Calculating log analytics ROI is often complicated. For many teams, this technology can be a cost center. Depending on your platform, the cost of a log management solution can quickly add up. For example, many organizations use solutions like the ELK stack because the initial startup costs are low. Yet, over time, costs can creep up for many reasons, including the volume of data collected and ingested per day, required retention periods, and the associated personnel needed to manage the deployment.

Mastering CloudTrail Logs, Part 1

CloudTrail logs are a type of log generated by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as part of its CloudTrail service. AWS CloudTrail records API calls made within an AWS account, providing a history of activity including actions taken through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. For example, CloudTrail events are generated for actions such as EC2 instances start/stop, S3 bucket read/write and IAM user creation/deletion.

Enhancing Data Ingestion: OpenTelemetry & Linux CLI Tools Mastery

While OpenTelemetry (OTel) supports a wide variety of data sources and is constantly evolving to add more, there are still many data sources for which no receiver exists. Thankfully, OTel contains receivers that accept raw data over a TCP or UDP connection. This blog unveils how to leverage Linux Command Line Interface (CLI) tools, creating efficient data pipelines for ingestion through OTel's TCP receiver.

The Complete Guide to Capacity Management in Kubernetes

In the dynamic world of container orchestration, Kubernetes stands out as the undisputed champion, empowering organizations to scale and deploy applications seamlessly. Yet, as the deployment scope increases, so do the associated Kubernetes workload costs, and the need for effective resource capacity planning becomes more critical than ever. When dealing with containers and Kubernetes you can find yourself facing multiple challenges that can affect your cluster stability and your business performance.
