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 solution can scale well."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana is the ease to build dashboards from observability construction. Additionally, the page services and integration are good."
"Compatibility with Prometheus databases and the Spring Boot application make it the first choice when moving toward an SRE model."
"Kubernetes could help us to better visualize the trend of our data by recording and displaying our history over a chosen duration, such as the last 30 days."
"The best feature was the creation of graphs and trends."
"The initial setup is straightforward with just a few clicks on the solution's cloud."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The most important feature of Grafana is its alarm formatting capability."
"It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make."
"The log aggregation is great."
"We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"I haven't had the chance to properly sink my teeth into Enterprise Security but so far I like that they added the MITRE ATT&CK features."
"The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data."
"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"Integrity with many vendors: This simplifies the implementation and integration with different devices"
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Grafana doesn't provide anything for reporting."
"Lacks in-depth graphs and sufficient AI."
"The solution should include online support."
"There is a need for improvement in automating daily monitoring reports, especially when alerts are triggered due to system downtimes or fluctuations."
"There are some areas of network drives that are not showing as expected based on server usage."
"Could be more user friendly."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"Although the technical support is adequate, there is still room for improvement."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
