We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and IBM Instana Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The solution has a one-second resolution, giving you the status of your application within one second."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"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."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"The interface could be improved."
"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 solution should include log management and improve reporting and integration with Cognos."
