We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and WhatsUp Gold based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Elastic Observability is superior to WhatsUp Gold in terms of features and design, although it has a higher learning curve and setup difficulty. The pricing is reasonable and cost-effective for organizations. WhatsUp Gold is stable and easy to set up, but lacks some features and may have limited certified engineer availability in certain countries. Overall, Elastic Observability is a more appealing and cost-efficient choice for application performance monitoring.
"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."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The threshold alerting is the most valuable feature."
"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."
"It handles the basics of monitoring."
"NetFlow monitoring, real-time monitoring, and surveys have been the most valuable features for our business."
"The most valuable feature of WhatsUp Gold is NetFlow and the virtualized maps."
"The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health."
"The interface in the last few years it has been a lot greater, they are much more user-friendly. I like the interface."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"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 price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
"Adding on services increases the cost and on the version we have there is no option for ATM monitoring."
"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."
"WhatsUp Gold should work on real-time monitoring and configuration management. If they succeed in doing this, the solution will cover all the network troubleshooting aspects and will be a benefit."
"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
