"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."

"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."

"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"Analytics is an area for improvement, being able to break down the actions that are being taken by users of BigPanda, as well as the auto-magical work that is being done by BigPanda."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."

"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."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
