ELK vs Logentries: What are the differences?
Developers describe ELK as "The acronym for three open source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana". It is the acronym for three open source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine. Logstash is a server‑side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a "stash" like Elasticsearch. Kibana lets users visualize data with charts and graphs in Elasticsearch. On the other hand, Logentries is detailed as "Real-time log management and analytics built for the cloud". Logentries makes machine-generated log data easily accessible to IT operations, development, and business analysis teams of all sizes. With the broadest platform support and an open API, Logentries brings the value of log-level data to any system, to any team member, and to a community of more than 25,000 worldwide users.
ELK and Logentries belong to "Log Management" category of the tech stack.
