Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"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."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The product can scale."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"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."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"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 solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
