"Performance improvement could come from skipping background refresh on search idle shards (which is already being addressed in the upcoming seventh version)."
"Elastic Enterprise Search's tech support is good but it could be improved."
"There is a lack of technical people to develop, implement and optimize equipment operation and web queries."
"They should improve its documentation. Their official documentation is not very informative. They can also improve their technical support. They don't help you much with the customized stuff. They also need to add more visuals. Currently, they have line charts, bar charts, and things like that, and they can add more types of visuals. They should also improve the alerts. They are not very simple to use and are a bit complex. They could add more options to the alerting system."
"The documentation regarding customization could be better."
"The metadata gets stored along with indexes and isn't queryable."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."

"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
