We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has always been a stable solution."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"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."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"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 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."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"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."
"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."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
