Pros
"AWS Auto Scaling is cost-effective and very useful for businesses.""The good thing about Autoscaling is that it provides the capacity to minimize downtime. So, it gives you the assurance of stability and robustness within your system.""The tool gives you the flexibility to scale up and grow. The solution is also fast to deploy.""It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load.""Our internal business applications are hosted in AWS Auto Scaling.""When a lot of traffic comes into our organization, the product scales our instances based on our environment’s requirements.""The product provides self-healing features.""The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."

Cons
"The product’s pricing needs improvement.""The solution's infrastructure scalability and elasticity could be improved.""The speed of the solution must be improved.""Flexibility in configuring the workload is missing in AWS Auto Scaling.""The tool must include AI features.""AWS Auto Scaling's documentation could be better.""The product could add more features for managing instances.""The solution is not out-of-the-box and you have to study to use it. It should be more easier to use."

More AWS Auto Scaling 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 Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages.""There could be more low-code features included in the product.""If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful.""Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage.""The interface could be improved.""In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is good. I have not had any customers that have complained about the price."
  • "AWS Auto Scaling's price is high."
  • "The product has moderate pricing."
  • "The product is expensive."
  • "AWS Auto Scaling is a cheap solution."
  • "AWS Auto Scaling is an expensive solution."
  • "AWS Auto Scaling is a pay-per-use and pay-as-you-use service."
  • More AWS Auto Scaling 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."

    Overview

    AWS Auto Scaling monitors your applications and automatically adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Using AWS Auto Scaling, it’s easy to setup application scaling for multiple resources across multiple services in minutes. The service provides a simple, powerful user interface that lets you build scaling plans for resources including Amazon EC2 instances and Spot Fleets, Amazon ECS tasks, Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes, and Amazon Aurora Replicas. AWS Auto Scaling makes scaling simple with recommendations that allow you to optimize performance, costs, or balance between them. If you’re already using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to dynamically scale your Amazon EC2 instances, you can now combine it with AWS Auto Scaling to scale additional resources for other AWS services. With AWS Auto Scaling, your applications always have the right resources at the right time.

    To effectively monitor and gain insights across your distributed systems, you need to have all your observability data in one stack. Break down silos by bringing together application, infrastructure, and user data into a unified solution for end-to-end observability and alerting.
    Rely on the most widely deployed observability platform available, built on the proven Elastic Stack (also known as the ELK Stack) to converge silos, delivering unified visibility and actionable insights.
