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."It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"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."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"It has quite extensive support in terms of integration. If you want to do anything, there are tools for that."
"Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"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 price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."
"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
"We had an instance when Splunk failed and it took us a couple of days to recover."
