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 architecture and system's stability are simple."
"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."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The most valuable feature is dashboard creation."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"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 most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"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."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"Splunk's functionality could be improved by adding database connectors for other platforms like AWS and Azure."
"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."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
