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

"A positive feature of ELK is that it directly interacts with Elasticsearch, the UI is very nice, and performance wise it's quite good too."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"This product has notably improved the way we store and use logs, from having a more user-friendly, centralized solution (for those who just needed a quick glance, without being masters of sed and awk) to implementing various mechanisms for machine-learning from our logs, and sending alerts for anomalies."
"Dashboard is very customizable."
"From the customer side, Elastic Search is super fast and very efficient, delivering results quickly."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature - it's awesome and very customizable."
"Big businesses cannot survive without Elastic Search because it gives us very good visibility and handles our use cases very well."
"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

"Dashboards could be more flexible, and it would be nice to provide more drill-down capabilities."
"I would like to see more integration for the solution with different platforms."
"Elastic Search needs to improve authentication. It also needs to work on the Kibana visualization dashboard."
"Both the graph feature and the reporting feature are a little bit lacking. The alerting also needs to be improved."
"Scalability and ROI are the areas they have to improve."
"The price could be better."
"I would like to see more open source tools and testing as well as a signature analysis in the solution."
"While integrating with tools like agents for ingesting data from sources like firewalls is valuable, I believe prioritizing improvements to the core product would be more beneficial."
"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

"To access all the features available you require both the open source license and the production license."
"The tool is not expensive. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"This is a free, open source software (FOSS) tool, which means no cost on the front-end. There are no free lunches in this world though. Technical skill to implement and support are costly on the back-end with ELK, whether you train/hire internally or go for premium services from Elastic."
"There is a free version, and there is also a hosted version for which you have to pay. We're currently using the free version. If things go well, we might go for the paid version."
"We are using the free open-sourced version of this solution."
"The basic license is free, but it comes with a lot of features that aren't free. With a gold license, we get active directory integration. With a platinum license, we get alerting."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"The premium license is expensive."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
