"It provides good access capabilities to various platforms."
"The amount of flexibility and agility is really assuring."

"They should add an API for third-party vendors, like a security operating center or reporting system, that would be a big improvement."
"The initial setup is not as easy as it should be."
"The price could be better. Kibana has some limitations in terms of the tablet to view event logs. I also have a high volume of data. On the initialization part, if you chose Kibana, you'll have some limitations. Kibana was primarily proposed as a log data reviewer to build applications to the viewer log data using Kibana. Then it became a virtualization tool, but it still has limitations from a developer's point of view."
"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 would like to be able to do correlations between multiple indexes."
"Improving machine learning capabilities would be beneficial."
"There is an index issue in which the data starts to crash as it increases."
"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."
"It is hard to learn and understand because it is a very big platform. This is the main reason why we still have nothing in production. We have to learn some things before we get there."
