Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"To get visibility from your network devices, servers, and security devices is a great feature."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"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."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The configuration had a bit of a learning curve."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"Their technical support sucks."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
