Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward.""The products comes with REST APIs.""X-Pack provides good features, like authorization and alerts.""Elastic Enterprise Search is scalable. On a scale of one to 10, with one being not scalable and 10 being very scalable, I give Elastic Enterprise Search a 10.""The observability is the best available because it provides granular insights that identify reasons for defects.""The most valuable features are the data store and the X-pack extension.""It gives us the possibility to store and query this data and also do this efficiently and securely and without delays.""Elasticsearch includes a graphical user interface (GUI) called Kibana. The GUI features are extremely beneficial to us."

"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility.""Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration.""The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""It's scalable.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server.""Great features available in one tool."

Cons
"Its licensing needs to be improved. They don't offer a perpetual license. They want to know how many nodes you will be using, and they ask for an annual subscription. Otherwise, they don't give you permission to use it. Our customers are generally military or police departments or customers without connection to the internet. Therefore, this model is not suitable for us. This subscription-based model is not the best for OEM vendors. Another annoying thing about Elasticsearch is its roadmap. We are developing something, and then they say, "Okay. We have removed that feature in this release," and when we are adapting to that release, they say, "Okay. We have removed that one as well." We don't know what they will remove in the next version. They are not looking for backward compatibility from the customers' perspective. They just remove a feature and say, "Okay. We've removed this one." In terms of new features, it should have an ODBC driver so that you can search and integrate this product with existing BI tools and reporting tools. Currently, you need to go for third parties, such as CData, in order to achieve this. ODBC driver is the most important feature required. Its Community Edition does not have security features. For example, you cannot authenticate with a username and password. It should have security features. They might have put it in the latest release.""There is a lack of technical people to develop, implement and optimize equipment operation and web queries.""Elastic Enterprise Search could improve its SSL integration easier. We should not need to go to the back-end servers to do configuration, we should be able to do it on the GUI.""I would like to see more integration for the solution with different platforms.""While integrating with tools like agents for ingesting data from sources like firewalls is valuable, I believe prioritizing improvements to the core product would be more beneficial.""The reports could improve.""The pricing of this product needs to be more clear because I cannot understand it when I review the website.""We'd like to see more integration in the future, especially around service desks or other ITSM tools."

More Elastic Search Cons →

"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved.""The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."

  • "An X-Pack license is more affordable than Splunk."
  • "​The pricing and license model are clear: node-based model."
  • "This is a free, open source software (FOSS) tool, which means no cost on the front-end. There are no free lunches in this world though. Technical skill to implement and support are costly on the back-end with ELK, whether you train/hire internally or go for premium services from Elastic."
  • "We are using the free version and intend to upgrade."
  • "It can be expensive."
  • "This product is open-source and can be used free of charge."

    Overview

    Elasticsearch is a prominent open-source search and analytics engine known for its scalability, reliability, and straightforward management. It's a favored choice among enterprises for real-time data search, analysis, and visualization. Open-source Elasticsearch is free, offering a comprehensive feature set and scalability. It allows full control over deployments but requires managing and maintaining the infrastructure. On the other hand, Elastic Cloud provides a managed service with features like automated provisioning, high availability, security, and global reach.

    Elasticsearch excels in handling time-sensitive data and complex search requirements across large datasets. Its scalability allows it to handle growing data volumes efficiently, maintaining high performance and fast response times. Integrated with Kibana, Elasticsearch enables powerful data visualization, providing real-time insights crucial for data-driven decision-making.

    Elastic Cloud reduces operational overhead and improves scalability and performance, though it comes with associated costs. It is available on your preferred cloud provider — AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Customers who want to manage the software themselves, whether on public, private, or hybrid cloud, can download the Elastic Stack.

    At its core, Elasticsearch is renowned for its full-text search capabilities, capable of performing complex queries and supporting features like fuzzy matching and auto-complete.

    Peer reviews from various professionals highlight its strengths and weaknesses. Pros include its detection and correlation features, flexibility, cloud-readiness, extensibility, and efficient search capabilities. However, users have noted challenges like steep learning curves, data analysis limitations, and integration complexities. The platform is generally viewed as stable and scalable, with varying degrees of satisfaction regarding its usability and feature set.

    In summary, Elasticsearch stands out for its high-speed search, scalability, and versatile analytics, making it a go-to solution for organizations managing large datasets. Its adaptability to different enterprise needs, robust community support, and continuous development keep it at the forefront of enterprise search and analytics solutions. However, potential users should be aware of its learning curve and the need for skilled personnel for optimization.
