"I appreciate that Elastic Enterprise Search is easy to use and that we have people on our team who are able to manage it effectively."
"The solution has good security features. I have been happy with the dashboards and interface."
"Elastic Enterprise Search is scalable. On a scale of one to 10, with one being not scalable and 10 being very scalable, I give Elastic Enterprise Search a 10."
"It helps us to analyse the logs based on the location, user, and other log parameters."

"Search is really powerful."
"I find the indexing feature the most valuable."
"The one area that can use improvement is the automapping of fields."
"The solution has quite a steep learning curve. The usability and general user-friendliness could be improved. However, that is kind of typical with products that have a lot of flexibility, or a lot of capabilities. Sometimes having more choices makes things more complex. It makes it difficult to configure it, though. It's kind of a bitter pill that you have to swallow in the beginning and you really have to get through it."
"Better dashboards or a better configuration system would be very good."
"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
"It should be easier to use. It has been getting better because many functions are pre-defined, but it still needs improvement."
"Enterprise scaling of what have been essentially separate, free open source software (FOSS) products has been a challenge, but the folks at Elastic have published new add-ons (X-Pack and ECE) to help large companies grow ELK to required scales."
"I don't see improvements at the moment. The current setup is working well for me, and I'm satisfied with it. Integrating with different platforms is also fine, and I'm not recommending any changes or enhancements right now."
"The different applications need to be individually deployed."
"The scalability of the solution is a problem."
