Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has good security features. I have been happy with the dashboards and interface.""The most valuable features of Elastic Enterprise Search are it's cloud-ready and we do a lot of infrastructure as code. By using ELK, we're able to deploy the solution as part of our ISC deployment.""I value the feature that allows me to share the dashboards to different people with different levels of access.""It is stable.""The tool's stability and performance are good.""Implementing the main requirements regarding my support portal​.""The observability is the best available because it provides granular insights that identify reasons for defects.""I really like the visualization that you can do within it. That's really handy. Product-wise, it is a very good and stable product."

More Elastic Search Pros →

"The interface is really user-friendly.""Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing.""The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""The virtualization tool is useful.""Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."

Cons
"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.""Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy).""Elastic Enterprise Search's tech support is good but it could be improved.""Something that could be improved is better integrations with Cortex and QRadar, for example.""Elastic Enterprise Search could improve its SSL integration easier. We should not need to go to the back-end servers to do configuration, we should be able to do it on the GUI.""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.""We see the need for some improvements with Elasticsearch. We would like the Elasticsearch package to include training lessons for our staff.""The UI point of view is not very powerful because it is dependent on Kibana."

More Elastic Search Cons →

"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""The workflow could be improved."

    Overview

    Elasticsearch is a prominent open-source search and analytics engine known for its scalability, reliability, and straightforward management. It's a favored choice among enterprises for real-time data search, analysis, and visualization. Open-source Elasticsearch is free, offering a comprehensive feature set and scalability. It allows full control over deployments but requires managing and maintaining the infrastructure. On the other hand, Elastic Cloud provides a managed service with features like automated provisioning, high availability, security, and global reach.

    Elasticsearch excels in handling time-sensitive data and complex search requirements across large datasets. Its scalability allows it to handle growing data volumes efficiently, maintaining high performance and fast response times. Integrated with Kibana, Elasticsearch enables powerful data visualization, providing real-time insights crucial for data-driven decision-making.

    Elastic Cloud reduces operational overhead and improves scalability and performance, though it comes with associated costs. It is available on your preferred cloud provider — AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Customers who want to manage the software themselves, whether on public, private, or hybrid cloud, can download the Elastic Stack.

    At its core, Elasticsearch is renowned for its full-text search capabilities, capable of performing complex queries and supporting features like fuzzy matching and auto-complete.

    Peer reviews from various professionals highlight its strengths and weaknesses. Pros include its detection and correlation features, flexibility, cloud-readiness, extensibility, and efficient search capabilities. However, users have noted challenges like steep learning curves, data analysis limitations, and integration complexities. The platform is generally viewed as stable and scalable, with varying degrees of satisfaction regarding its usability and feature set.

    In summary, Elasticsearch stands out for its high-speed search, scalability, and versatile analytics, making it a go-to solution for organizations managing large datasets. Its adaptability to different enterprise needs, robust community support, and continuous development keep it at the forefront of enterprise search and analytics solutions. However, potential users should be aware of its learning curve and the need for skilled personnel for optimization.
