Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization.""The solution allows us to dig deep into data.""The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes.""The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle.""We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it.""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.""It has always been a stable solution."

"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can.""The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature.""You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply.""What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

Cons
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before.""Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema.""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.""There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities.""The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities.""Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage.""The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages.""If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."

More Elastic Observability Cons →

"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product.""What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.""The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,""The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
  • "There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
  • "Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
  • "The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
  • "Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
  • "One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
  • "Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
  • "We will buy a premium license after POC."
