Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Chatbot has handled large PDF search workloads and provides clear dashboards for daily work
Because I am pursuing a PhD and work under the university, my university has an agreement with AWS, which makes it essentially free and easier to use. In the AWS ecosystem, everything is connected and I can control everything without uncertainty about what is happening behind the scenes. However, when using Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service), I connected it to Google Cloud but I am paying separate receipts. Over the last two months in October and November, I paid two separate invoices that are not connected to Google Cloud, which I did not appreciate. Google Cloud has a nice interface that gives me full control of pricing and billing. I can see daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns with bar charts, and I can track exactly how much I spent during any period. Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) does not have such a tool for billing visibility. Since I am handling significant amounts of money and am responsible for this task within my company, I have high expectations for pricing and billing transparency. I would appreciate the ability to set a spending limit, such as uploading 200 euros, and receive notifications when reaching 50% of that limit. These notifications could appear on the dashboard, in the application, or via email. It would be valuable to see a timeline of my spending. I would characterize the pricing as somewhat expensive. I did not use competitors extensively, so I may have a bias about this. The pricing of large language models is not expensive—I use Anthropic's Claude or Google's Gemini, which are state-of-the-art models. However, I am uncertain whether I have a bias about Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) pricing. It is not extraordinarily expensive, but when I compare it with the cost of using large language models or Google Cloud storage, it is quite expensive. A couple of days ago, the Elastic team reached out to me. We have been regularly using the service since April, and 10 days ago at the beginning of December, I deleted my hosted deployments because I did not like the idea of paying when I am not actively using Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service). They informed me that there is a serverless option available. Before Christmas, I want to try it to see how it works, as I am uncertain about the serverless concept and whether it will provide the same functionality that I use with the hosted deployment.

"Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) is a wonderful solution for seamless implementation and maintaining its health."
"There have been quite a lot of good outcomes since using Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service); customers have been able to use their data much faster and more effectively, and it definitely stands as one of the best observability platforms."
 

Cons

"CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down; compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether."
"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"Sometimes it gets tricky to navigate through the user manuals because there are different forms of links."
"Machine learning might be expensive for customers."
"I would characterize the pricing as somewhat expensive. It is not extraordinarily expensive, but when I compare it with the cost of using large language models or Google Cloud storage, it is quite expensive."
"The logging feature of Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) itself is pretty valuable, but we tried the observability module and some of the AI features. Those need improvement."
