Assistant Vice President at QualityKiosk Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
Has provided powerful customization for unique monitoring needs but needs more out-of-the-box capabilities
In my opinion, the best features of Elastic Observability are their flexibility to integrate with other existing systems and the ability to build a unified monitoring tool that can integrate with existing ones and end-to-end user journeys which require a lot of customizations. The greatest feature in Elastic is the ability to customize. This is similar to my comments about customizable dashboards in Elastic because it's visible to the analyst. However, it's very great. Customizing these dashboards can meet the customer's specific use cases and specific stories that they have in their environment, their special environment that doesn't look like other environments. The dashboarding in Elastic is highly customizable to the level of logos. If the customer wants his company logo in the dashboard, it can be done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"I found Elk to be excellent for log analytics, security analytics, application code-level analytics, collaboration with DevOps teams, CI/CD, microservices, and Kubernetes, specifically cloud-native or cloud-specific tasks."
"Elastic Observability is highly stable; we ingested nearly 170 million records in the system and we have tested it, and you get your reports and dashboards within a few seconds, so it doesn't take much time."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"Elastic provides built-in features for queries and report generation. It's a very good tool for monitoring integration capabilities."
"I think Elastic Observability is already in very good shape."
"I recommend Elastic Observability for its completeness of vision and wide ecosystem."
"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"As a consulting company we implement management solutions to a large variety of companies and after working with OpMon our project time was reduced and we can offer a different solution to each customer."
 

Cons

"Elastic support really struggles in complex situations to resolve issues."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"I would advise others to use a different solution than Elastic APM."
"One example is the inability to monitor very old databases with the newest version."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"It lacked some capabilities when handling on-prem devices, like network observability, package flow analysis, and device performance data on the infrastructure side."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."
"We have been using the open-source version."
"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."
"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
