Find out what your peers are saying about Elastic, IBM, OpenText and others in Indexing and Search."I appreciate that Elastic Enterprise Search is easy to use and that we have people on our team who are able to manage it effectively."
"I value the feature that allows me to share the dashboards to different people with different levels of access."
"Gives us a more user-friendly, centralized solution (for those who just needed a quick glance, without being masters of sed and awk) as well as the ability to implement various mechanisms for machine-learning from our logs, and sending alerts for anomalies."
"ELK Elasticsearch is 100% scalable as scalability is built into the design"
"There's lots of processing power. You can actually just add machines to get more performance if you need to. It's pretty flexible and very easy to add another log. It's not like 'oh, no, it's going to be so much extra data'. That's not a problem for the machine. It can handle it."
"We had many reasons to implement Elasticsearch for search term solutions. Elasticsearch products provide enterprise landscape support for different areas of the company."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"Provides the ability to control how indexing and searching perform and controls how the scoring for search results is done, letting you customize the search experience according to your needs."
"The valuable features are automation and multiple connectors available out of the box. It is simple to manage and easier to use for all users."
"Enterprise scaling of what have been essentially separate, free open source software (FOSS) products has been a challenge, but the folks at Elastic have published new add-ons (X-Pack and ECE) to help large companies grow ELK to required scales."
"There are a lot of manual steps on the operating system. It could be simplified in the user interface."
"Both the graph feature and the reporting feature are a little bit lacking. The alerting also needs to be improved."
"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
"Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy)."
"There is an index issue in which the data starts to crash as it increases."
"We see the need for some improvements with Elasticsearch. We would like the Elasticsearch package to include training lessons for our staff."
"It should be easier to use. It has been getting better because many functions are pre-defined, but it still needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by adding more AI and natural language processing."
"Having some kind of prebuilt client UI will be helpful."
