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."The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"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."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"The product is good, it satisfies our customers."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"The interface could be improved."
"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 needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"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."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications."
"Some of the queries are difficult to run and have room for improvement."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"The price has room for improvement."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
