We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Splunk APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
