"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."

"The product has connectors to many services."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."

"The cost must be made more transparent."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."

"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."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
