"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."

"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."

"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The interface could be improved."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
