CoScale (discontinued) vs. Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM)

CoScale is designed specifically to monitor container and microservices environments managed by Kubernetes ecosystem.

Splunk RUM was really helpful in identifying brute force attacks as we used Splunk query language and were able to identify how many failed login attempts were made from which country and blacklisted those IP's. Since Splunk entirely depends on Splunk query language, if there are no logs or you delete the logs you can't perform analysis, as there is no stream of live data and also it depends on how frequently your data can be indexed.

• Visualizes Kubernetes web performance in context.
• Automatically creates a number of default, but very informative dashboards.

Incentivized

• End-to-end visibility enables me to see each transaction from start to finish thereby making it easy to know where exactly an anomaly is coming from.
• They have a really kind and helpful customer support.
• Application monitoring.
• End user performance metrics.

• It is missing a summary view of resource consumption by all instances of a given service.
• Takes an old school approach to save dashboard changes with a button.

Incentivized

• The setting baseline for AI-driven troubleshooting requires more documentation to implement.
• Room for integration with open sourced or inhouse monitoring tools.
• Required more flexibility on setting up mobile OS performance metrics.

We have been working with CoScale for quite some time now, and we have not encountered too many problems really. The majority of minor issues we ran into were quickly solved by reaching out to technical community forums. When it comes to the remaining ones, we were able to solve those efficiently with assistance from the supporting team of technical experts.

CoScale was developed as a next-generation monitoring and alerting system for Kubernetes container orchestration engine, and it largely delivers what was promised by leveraging direct integration into the orchestration engine itself. Compared to other vendors, CoScale's in-container monitoring allows even to monitor the services running within the containers, which makes a huge difference for us.

Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) has a much better artificial intelligence engine. It also has a much better and more intuitive user interface. Splunk RUM also allows end-to-end visibility into the front and the backend. Technical support and customer service are also much better than Goliath. Query performance is faster than Goliath.

• Information provided by CoScale accelerates problem solving for us.
• Significantly lowers the time to identify any issues with our container environment.

Incentivized

• Splunk is a single platform to perform all your analysis from front end to backend and all services.
• Splunk licensing is quite costly.
• Splunk is an excellent tool for data engineering and cyber security purpose.
