Find out what your peers are saying about Elastic, IBM, OpenText and others in Indexing and Search."Elasticsearch includes a graphical user interface (GUI) called Kibana. The GUI features are extremely beneficial to us."
"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."
"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application. Saves time in triage and incident response by eliminating manual steps to access and parse logs on separate systems, within large infrastructure footprints."
"Implementing the main requirements regarding my support portal."
"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."
"It is highly valuable because of its simplicity in maintenance, where most tasks are handled for you, and it offers a plethora of built-in features."
"I like how it allows us to connect to Kafka and get this data in a document format very easily. Elasticsearch is very fast when you do text-based searches of documents. That area is very good, and the search is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its utility and usefulness."
"Grafana has improved our analysis capability to solve an issue, increasing the co-working between IT services and business services."
"Kubernetes could help us to better visualize the trend of our data by recording and displaying our history over a chosen duration, such as the last 30 days."
"It gives us the visibility we need. I like that when we add deployment markers or release markers, we know exactly when an issue arises. For instance, if there is an increased usage of CPU, we can link it directly to the deployment that might have caused the issue. It increases productivity and observability. We can now easily tell when a certain issue arises. It's way easier to debug because it can point you to certain things based on these markers, and we can debug easier."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana is the ease to build dashboards from observability construction. Additionally, the page services and integration are good."
"The most important feature of Grafana is its alarm formatting capability."
"Almost any kind of visualization is possible with Grafana and all dashboards are configurable."
"The integration between Loki and Tempo is valuable."
"Provides good dashboard visualization."
"While integrating with tools like agents for ingesting data from sources like firewalls is valuable, I believe prioritizing improvements to the core product would be more beneficial."
"Elastic Search needs to improve its technical support. It should be customer-friendly and have good support."
"I would like to see more integration for the solution with different platforms."
"The pricing of this product needs to be more clear because I cannot understand it when I review the website."
"The solution's integration and configuration are not easy. Not many people know exactly what to do."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. We faced a few issues."
"They could improve some of the platform's infrastructure management capabilities."
"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."
"Grafana need to improve the logging functionality."
"The service dashboard is very hard and needs improvement."
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
"Lacks in-depth graphs and sufficient AI."
"The formatting could be better."
"It would be helpful if they simplified the data source."
"Its interface could be more accessible."
"There are some areas of network drives that are not showing as expected based on server usage."
