We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Microsoft System Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"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."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ease of configuration and the easy discovery of the environment."
"The installation process is easy."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"Managment Packs for Microsoft-specific products, help us implement the best practices for each product."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
