We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability.""Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds.""The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes.""It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis.""We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical.""The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization.""The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests.""Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."

Cons
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper.""The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities.""The interface could be improved.""They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base.""The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper.""Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before.""The cost must be made more transparent."

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
  • "The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
  • "Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
  • "One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
  • "Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
  • "We will buy a premium license after POC."
