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."We use AppDynamics and Elastic.

"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The solution allows for a lot of customization."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is its performance."
"FortiAnalyzer has a user-friendly interface with a quick response and good analytics. It's very secure because it's taking the log from the devices on a secure channel, so there is no problem with that in your network."
"Overall we are satisfied with all the features the solution provides."
"The product works well with other products."
"The features that our customers have found most valuable are their different type of reports including the drill down report, as well as the flexibility to connect to any number of appliances which can be connected to it centrally."
"The feature I find most useful is the handy dashboard."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"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."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"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 interface could be improved."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."

"In terms of what could be improved, sometimes it's lagging and it also has some graphical issues with the GUI."
"Pricing should be about 10-20% lower."
"Their pricing model is not the best and needs work."
"It will be better if behavior or indicators of compromise were on the same licensing schema. Currently, it is an advanced feature that you have to purchase as an add-on. This is the reason we're trying to do the ELK so that we can integrate them and create those rules by using open-source software. It will also be better if it has some more integration with IT service management tools so that we can do endpoint protection and response based on those indicators of compromise or those behavior analysis rules that create events that can automatically flow. We can inject that data into a service incident ticket on our IT service management tool, and that way we can assign the ticket to the proper teams and respond right away. Currently, we only have integration with ServiceNow."
"The integration between specific tenants and FortiAnalyzer can be simplified when utilizing a multi-tenant EMS for our FortiClient."
"The technical support is not very good."
"From my point of view, at this time, the solution isn't lacking any features or functionalities."
