Adelina Craciun - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Elastic provides built-in features for queries and report generation. It's a very good tool for monitoring integration capabilities."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"I think Elastic Observability is already in very good shape."
"The most valued feature of Elastic is its log analytics capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
 

Cons

"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"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 auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"The only challenging aspect for new users is often writing the query language."
"When opening tickets, we cannot use our team mailbox."
"One example is the inability to monitor very old databases with the newest version."
"The interface could be improved."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
"The product is not that cheap."
"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
"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."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
