Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle.""The product has connectors to many services.""The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization.""It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible.""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.""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 solution allows us to dig deep into data.""Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."

"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature.""Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."

Cons
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low.""The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities.""Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included.""Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira.""There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before.""There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities.""The interface could be improved.""Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."

"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."

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."

    Overview
    To effectively monitor and gain insights across your distributed systems, you need to have all your observability data in one stack. Break down silos by bringing together application, infrastructure, and user data into a unified solution for end-to-end observability and alerting.
    Rely on the most widely deployed observability platform available, built on the proven Elastic Stack (also known as the ELK Stack) to converge silos, delivering unified visibility and actionable insights.

    Sysdig Monitor allows you to maximize the performance and availability of your cloud infrastructure, services, and applications. Built on open source, it provides immediate, deep visibility into rapidly changing container environments. You can resolve issues faster by using granular data derived from actual system calls enriched with cloud and Kubernetes context along with Prometheus metrics. Remove silos by unifying data across teams for hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring.
