Sales Manager at a construction company

It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it's low

An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely. Besides a call center, we have a lot of employees in the field and on the road, therefore for management to have access to those numbers quickly, it would be very helpful.

Customization enables tailored monitoring and alerting across departments

The possibility to customize it has been quite useful. Whatever the other departments want to dream up, we implement. Whatever they want to monitor, the granularity of it, the changes in the threshold, and the anomalies that they want reported all require some development. So far, every single request has been fulfilled.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."

"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."

"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."

"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."

"The product has connectors to many services."

"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."

"I think Elastic Observability is already in very good shape."

"It is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten based on my interaction with it."

Cons

"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."

"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."

"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."

"When opening tickets, we cannot use our team mailbox."

"There could be more low-code features included in the product."

"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 cost must be made more transparent."

"More web features could be added to the product."

"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"The product is not that cheap."

"The product’s pricing needs improvement."

"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."

"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."

"We will buy a premium license after POC."

"We have been using the open-source version."

"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."
