Logging and vector search have transformed observability and empowered reliable ai agents
Elastic Search is not specifically being used for certain purposes. I deploy Elastic Search database on the cloud and use cloud services so that nobody can attack. However, I do not use Elastic Search to resolve attack issues. The basic main purpose of Elastic Search, as of now, I feel it can do more in the AI area. Sometime I saw that when I am developing RAG and have to generate the embeddings, which I call metadata, sometimes it tries to fail. That durability or issue handling should be improved, but apart from that, I did not find anything as of now. As per my use case, whatever I am using seems pretty good. Apart from that, some definitely improvement will be there. One improvement is that it should be faster. Whenever I am searching any logs, it takes much time. For example, if I open my log in Notepad or a similar tool, I can search the text within a second. With Elastic Search, it takes a little bit of time, ten to fifteen seconds. That can be improved. Sometimes, engineers take time to assign when I create a ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have many advantages from the features of Elasticsearch, and we have enough possibilities and features with Elasticsearch for our business requirements."
"If you decide to run with it, the performance and the result can be very satisfactory."
"The security portion of Elasticsearch is particularly beneficial, allowing me to view and analyze security alerts."
"It is a stable and good platform."
"It provides deep visibility into your cloud and distributed applications, from microservices to serverless architectures. It quickly identifies and resolves the root causes of issues, like gaining visibility into all the cloud-based and on-prem applications."
"You have dashboards, it is visual, there are maps, you can create canvases. It's more visual than anything that I've ever used."
"The solution has good security features. I have been happy with the dashboards and interface."
"ELK Elasticsearch is 100% scalable as scalability is built into the design"
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
"They're making changes in their architecture too frequently."
"The UI point of view is not very powerful because it is dependent on Kibana."
"There are some features lacking in ELK Elasticsearch."
"Elastic Enterprise Search could improve the report templates."
"They should improve its documentation. Their official documentation is not very informative."
"The price could be better. Kibana has some limitations in terms of the tablet to view event logs. I also have a high volume of data. On the initialization part, if you chose Kibana, you'll have some limitations. Kibana was primarily proposed as a log data reviewer to build applications to the viewer log data using Kibana. Then it became a virtualization tool, but it still has limitations from a developer's point of view."
"I know many customers who lost their data and could not recover it."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Elastic Search is open-source, but you need to pay for support, which is expensive."
"We are using the free open-sourced version of this solution."
"We are using the Community Edition because Elasticsearch's licensing model is not flexible or suitable for us. They ask for an annual subscription. We also got the development consultancy from Elasticsearch for 60 days or something like that, but they were just trying to do the same trick. That's why we didn't purchase it. We are just using the Community Edition."
"The solution is not expensive because users have the option of choosing the managed or the subscription model."
"we are using a licensed version of the product."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is less expensive than Stackdriver and Grafana."
"​The pricing and license model are clear: node-based model."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
