Both New Relic and AppDynamics are observability and monitoring tools that provide insights into the performance and health of applications, infrastructure, and services.

New Relic is a cloud-based observability platform that provides real-time analytics, distributed tracing, and application performance monitoring (APM) capabilities. AppDynamics, on the other hand, is a full-stack application performance management (APM) solution that offers deep insights into application performance, user experience, and business performance.

Splunk and Dynatrace are monitoring tools that provide a wide range of products and services for monitoring. In this post, I have compared Splunk and Dynatrace on important features like APM, log management, application security, etc.

Splunk and Kibana are highly regarded for their data analysis and visualization capabilities. Splunk is a platform for searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine-generated big data, including logs, events, and metrics. Kibana, on the other hand, is an open-source data visualization dashboard for Elasticsearch.

Prometheus has been one of the most popular open-source monitoring tools for the last few years. However, as systems become more complex, Prometheus looks like a monolithic application that just can’t match performance needs anymore. In fact, it also lacks high availability and easy scalability. In this article, we will go through the top 11 Prometheus alternatives that you can consider using.

Splunk and Prometheus are popular monitoring tools used today by businesses and companies for monitoring data. Splunk is an enterprise monitoring tool that specializes in searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine-generated big data, while Prometheus is primarily for metrics monitoring.

New Relic and Grafana are popular monitoring and observability tools that provide a wide range of products with similar features. In this post, I have compared New Relic and Grafana on important features like APM, log management, infrastructure monitoring, application security, etc.

Log aggregation is essential in software systems. In a distributed software system, there are numerous components that generate logs. Log aggregation tools centralize data from various sources, enabling efficient monitoring, troubleshooting, and analysis. This centralized approach makes monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting much easier

Datadog and Dynatrace are popular tools when it comes to monitoring and observability. In this article I have compared Datadog and Dynatrace across different aspects like getting started, infrastructure monitoring, log monitoring, pricing, etc.

Kibana is one of the most popular data visualization platforms with its built-in anomaly detection, custom visualization options, or relational analysis. An integral part of the ELK stack, it helps you query and present your data on dashboards in the form of graphs and charts.

But one of the major drawbacks of Kibana is that it can only work with Elasticsearch as the data source. As a result, scaling Kibana independently can be a challenge for organizations. Additionally, its poor support for metrics might lead users to seek alternative solutions.
