We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"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 ."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"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."
"We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk."
"The product has a good security posture."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"The metrics and trends that Splunk Enterprise Security generates using all the data points we send allow customers to understand better what their users are doing."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"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 could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"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."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. Technical support could be improved as well."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
"We had some connections issues with the solution at the beginning."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
