|---|
| ELK is a powerful open-source enterprise platform that combines ElasticSearch, LogStash, and Kibana for searching, visualizing, monitoring, and ANALYZING machine data. | The Splunk product is a closed-source tool for searching, visualizing, monitoring, and analyzing machine data. | | The elasticsearch tool integrates with Logstash and Kibana to operate similarly to Splunk. Additionally, it can also be integrated with many other tools, such as Datadog, Amazon, Couchbase, Elasticsearch Services, and Contentful, etc. | Additionally, Splunk integrates with several other tools, including Google Anthos, OverOps, Wazuh, PagerDuty, Amazon Guard Duty, etc. | | Some of the largest companies worldwide use ElasticStack to store, analyze, search and visualize data, including Uber, Stack Overflow, Udemy, Shopify, Instacart, and Slank, etc. | In contrast, Splunk is used by a range of companies, including Starbucks, Craftbase, Intuit, SendGrid, Yelp, Rent the Runway, and Blend. | | Wizards and FEATURES are not pre-loaded in Elasticsearch. Even so, it doesn't have an interactive user interface, so users must install a plugin or use Kibana with it. | It COMES preloaded with wizards and features that are easy and reliable to use. They allow managers to manage resources efficiently. | | The ELK stack includes Kibana for visualization. Additionally, Kibana offers the same visualization features as Splunk Web UI, such as line charts, tables, etc., that can be presented on a dashboard. | Splunk Web UI comes with flexible controls that you can use to edit, add, and remove components to your dashboard. XML (Extensible Markup Language) can even be used to customize the application and visualization components on mobile devices. |
