"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"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."

"Log View is the most valuable part for us, as we can view logs from different Fortigates on a single GUI."
"I like its simplicity. It is straightforward. We get reports and emails about the logs, and that's it."
"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."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"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."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"We are concerned about the compliance of our policy and institutional philosophy."
"When using this solution, you need a high-level expert to make it work as it should."
"I think some improvement is required in real-time log monitoring, as sometimes it gets stuck or displays results after a delay."
"Software reports are good but should match the dashboard and include top-level output instead of just base or low-level devices."
"The following could be better: operation and maintenance, high-availability architecture, and management link embedded in the transmission link."
"The product should be integrated with other third-party solutions for context exchange."
"They can include integration with devices, such as firewalls, endpoints, from other vendors. They can include graphic monitoring of everything in the network, not just Fortinet products. It would also be good to include customizable reports and customizable views of the reports."
"Feature-wise, it is working very well for us. We don't need any additional features. However, its pricing can be improved. For small business customers, price is an important factor."
