"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"Log collection is the most valuable. The UI looks great. It has a very good look and feel. We don't have the need to use solid state drives. We use mechanic drives, and we don't see any performance issues, so basically, it is doing fine."
"It's easy to set up the product."
"Logging is the best feature."
"The report templates are valuable. It works very well, and integrations also work well."

"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"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 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."
"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 solution can improve the incident response function to provide more detailed information on where the incident is originating."
"We would like to see some improvement on the upgrade process around this solution. There are sometimes communication issues when a new version of the firewall is implemented, and it fails to report back to this product."
"The deployment is complex and has room for improvement."
"From my point of view, at this time, the solution isn't lacking any features or functionalities."
"The technical support is not very reliable."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"The solution lacks business intelligence features. It's much too basic."
