Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search.""Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution.""It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible.""It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis.""The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle.""Good design and easy to use once implemented.""We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it.""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."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation.""It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us.""Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc.""Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards.""Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging.""It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert.""We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately.""Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

Cons
"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 would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities.""The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome.""Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema.""Elastic Observability’s price could be improved.""The interface could be improved.""Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial.""Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."

More Elastic Observability Cons →

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on.""I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms.""We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us.""They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved.""The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement.""​We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue.""I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
  • "There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
  • "Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
  • "The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
  • "Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
  • "One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
  • "Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
  • "We will buy a premium license after POC."

  • "HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
  • "​Use it. It is free."
  • "​I am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
