Elastic Observability seems to have a good scale-out capability.
Chief Cloud Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Elastic Observability is easy in deployment in general for small scale, but when you deploy it at a really large scale, the complexity comes with the customizations.

Elastic Observability is stable and reliable, with high user ratings, efficiently handling large data volumes with proper configuration.
Sentiment score

Prevasio is stable and scalable with minimal hardware needs, though AlgoBot restarts and night slowdowns occasionally occur.
There are some bugs that come with each release, but they are keen always to build major versions and minor versions on time, including the CVE vulnerabilities to fix it.
Assistant Vice President at QualityKiosk Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
It is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten based on my interaction with it.
Product Owner at Swisscom

Room For Improvement

Elastic Observability needs automation, AI, and customization improvements, addressing complex deployment, market presence, metrics, licensing, and usability issues.
Prevasio users desire improved automation, vendor integration, API, analysis clarity, Cisco/Oracle support, authentication, bug fixes, and dashboards.
For instance, if you have many error logs and want to create a rule with a custom query, such as triggering an alert for five errors in the last hour, all you need to do is open the AI bot, type this question, and it generates an Elastic query for you to use in your alert rules.
Senior Consultant at Skillfield
It lacked some capabilities when handling on-prem devices, like network observability, package flow analysis, and device performance data on the infrastructure side.
Senior Technical Sales at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Some areas such as AI Ops still require data scientists to understand machine learning and AI, and it doesn't have a quick win with no-brainer use cases.
Assistant Vice President at QualityKiosk Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Elastic Observability provides competitive pricing, benefiting large enterprises with comprehensive licensing, but may be costly for smaller users.
Prevasio's pricing and licensing experiences vary, with setup costs seen as reasonable but licensing viewed as high yet competitive.
The license is reasonably priced, however, the VMs where we host the solution are extremely expensive, making the overall cost in the public cloud high.
Product Owner at Swisscom
Elastic Observability is cost-efficient and provides all features in the enterprise license without asset-based licensing.
Chief Cloud Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Observability is actually cheaper compared to logs because you're not indexing huge blobs of text and trying to parse those.
Senior Consultant at Skillfield
 

Valuable Features

Elastic Observability excels with flexible integration, powerful search, scalability, real-time insights, affordability, and robust support, enhancing efficiency.
Prevasio automates firewall management with strong compliance tools, seamless integration, and a user-friendly dashboard for diverse environments.
The most valuable feature is the integrated platform that allows customers to start from observability and expand into other areas like security, EDR solutions, etc.
Chief Cloud Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
the most valued feature of Elastic is its log analytics capabilities.
Senior Technical Sales at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
All the features that we use, such as monitoring, dashboarding, reporting, the possibility of alerting, and the way we index the data, are important.

Mohammed-Abdelalim - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Juan Tolosa - PeerSpot reviewer
Production Manager at Assertiva S.A.
Automation helps reduce human error, and platform suggests the best configuration to apply
The optimizations are the most useful aspect because most customers have a very unmanaged network with a lot of rules. We use a lot of the optimizations in our reports for improving firewall rules. It also provides our clients with full visibility into the risks involved in firewall change requests and that is very important because our clients are often banks that must be in compliance with PCI. And when it comes to preparing for audits and ensuring that firewalls are in compliance, the solution is very useful. We are able to do it very fast. We can do a lot of iterations and get better policy rules all the time. Although not many of our clients are migrating to the cloud, for those that are, AlgoSec is useful. The part of the process that takes a long time is the human part. We must have gap committees and approvals that take a long time. But the integration itself is very easy with AlgoSec. We have all the information in our hands about the traffic we must enable on the cloud and for making new rules. All that is automated.
