We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Elastic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor has better integration with Microsoft technologies, more out-of-the-box functionalities, lower cost, and better customer support. Elastic Observability is noted for its machine learning and custom development capabilities, but has a steep learning curve, lacks comprehensive visualization and metrics, and could improve pricing. Overall, Azure Monitor is seen as a more robust and stable product that offers a centralized location for resource monitoring.
"It has good troubleshooting features."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"have used multiple products like Webex and PRTG. Some features could be added. Azure Monitor should add SMS and APIs. We have very limited access to Azure Monitor. I usually get alerts on my phone when they are integrated with Slack. I am not always available, but my team is. Sometimes, I am traveling and don't have access to my email, but I have Slack and other third-party projects that send me instant messages if a sensor goes down."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The interface could be improved."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
