"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"It provides deep visibility into your cloud and distributed applications, from microservices to serverless architectures. It quickly identifies and resolves the root causes of issues, like gaining visibility into all the cloud-based and on-prem applications."
"Search is really powerful."
"The AI-based attribute tagging is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the data store and the X-pack extension."
"It helps us to analyse the logs based on the location, user, and other log parameters."

"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"Elastic Enterprise Search could improve the report templates."
"I would like to be able to do correlations between multiple indexes."
"They should improve its documentation. Their official documentation is not very informative. They can also improve their technical support. They don't help you much with the customized stuff. They also need to add more visuals. Currently, they have line charts, bar charts, and things like that, and they can add more types of visuals. They should also improve the alerts. They are not very simple to use and are a bit complex. They could add more options to the alerting system."
"Both the graph feature and the reporting feature are a little bit lacking. The alerting also needs to be improved."
"There is a lack of technical people to develop, implement and optimize equipment operation and web queries."
"There are some features lacking in ELK Elasticsearch."
"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."
"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
