We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Splunk APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."

"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"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."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk's functionality could be improved by adding database connectors for other platforms like AWS and Azure."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
