Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud.""Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution.""Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good.""Has really nice roll-up dashboards.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

More Dell CloudIQ Pros →

"The solution has been stable in our usage.""The solution allows us to dig deep into data.""The architecture and system's stability are simple.""Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution.""For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool .""It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible.""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.""The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."

Cons
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved.""Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range.""Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""The cost must be made more transparent.""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.""The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome.""The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities.""More web features could be added to the product.""In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana.""There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
  • More Dell CloudIQ 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."
