Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests.""The architecture and system's stability are simple.""Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance.""The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization.""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.""I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability.""It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature.""What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution.""The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can.""You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."

Cons
"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 APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low.""The interface could be improved.""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.""Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema.""Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."

"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product.""The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,""The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation.""What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."

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."
