"It's a good log management platform. In terms of infrastructure management, it's good."
"The initial set up is very easy...We really appreciate Amazon!"
"The stability of the product is good."
"The most valuable features of Amazon Elasticsearch are ease of use, native JSON, and efficiency. Additionally, handles many use cases and search grammar was useful."
"It enables us to efficiently search and retrieve our event data, offering us a versatile approach to locate specific information within these logs."
"In case there is a failure, Elastic manages everything well, and there no major downtime."
"Because all communication is done via the REST API, data is retrieved quickly in JSON format to reduce overhead and latency."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."

"The product is extremely configurable, allowing you to customize the search experience to suit your needs."
"The amount of flexibility and agility is really assuring."
"It provides good access capabilities to various platforms."
"Offers a tremendous amount of flexibility and scalability when integrating with applications."
"Creates indexers to get data from different data sources."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"We had many reasons to implement Elasticsearch for search term solutions. Elasticsearch products provide enterprise landscape support for different areas of the company."
"A nonstructured database that can manage large amounts of nonstructured data."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"The solution is quite scalable and this is one of its advantages."
"ELK Elasticsearch is 100% scalable as scalability is built into the design"
"The solution offers good stability."
"You have dashboards, it is visual, there are maps, you can create canvases. It's more visual than anything that I've ever used."
"The configuration should be more straightforward because we had to select a lot of things."
"There is a problem with the database. Amazon only provides the hosting to run our applications bias, but there is no option to manage the database within the Elasticsearch product."
"I want to see a new feature in Amazon Elasticsearch Service that allows users to create default filters for filtered levels."
"One glaring issue was with our mapping configuration as the system accepted the data we posted, but after a few months, when we attempted complex queries, we realized the date formatting had become problematic."
"I would say that, basically, the configuration part is an area with a shortcoming...Some upgradation is required on the configuration side so that we can get to use it."

"The pricing is room for improvement."
"It would be good if the site found a better way to filter things based on subscription."
"For SDKs, Azure Search currently offers solutions for .NET and Python. Additional platforms would be welcomed, especially native iOS and Android solutions for mobile development."
"The after-hour services are slow."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"For availability, expanding its use to all Azure datacenters would be helpful in increasing awareness and usage of the product."
"They should add an API for third-party vendors, like a security operating center or reporting system, that would be a big improvement."
"They're making changes in their architecture too frequently."
"It was not possible to use authentication three years back. You needed to buy the product's services for authentication."
"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."
"The GUI is the part of the program which has the most room for improvement."
"The different applications need to be individually deployed."
"It should be easier to use. It has been getting better because many functions are pre-defined, but it still needs improvement."
"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
"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."
