William Au - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized log data has improved issue resolution and reduced operational costs
One of the better features of Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) is Lucene Search, which gives our users the ability to search through the mountains of logs without giving them direct access to production systems. Another great feature is Index Lifecycle Management that allows us to move data to cheaper storage tiers as our data ages out. The feature that we love the best is LogsDB, which allows us to index our data differently so that it doesn't accumulate as much storage in our hot tier and allows us to ship many of those logs, especially older logs to cheaper storage such as S3. Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service) has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move away from expensive services such as DataDog and gives us about the same level of service while allowing us to keep data for a longer period of time at a cheaper price.

Scales linearly and vertically; primarily used in AI
If I am not wrong, IDOL is working to release improvements in new capabilities in the next six months. There is room for improvement in some very important capabilities in visual analytics. They have been focusing on improving the face recognition algorithm. The accuracy of object detection could be improved as well and I know they are working on that at the moment. I would like to see some machine learning capabilities added to the next release.
