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

"Elastic Enterprise Search is a very good solution and they should keep doing good work."
"The product offers a powerful, cost effective solution for proprietary log management and is easy to understand and start with."
"Even compared to Splunk, Elastic Search has a good easy-to-use user interface, as even non-technical people can easily search and easily observe the logs and easily track the applications."
"The flexibility and the support for diverse languages that it provides for searching the database are most valuable, and we can use different languages to query the database."
"The positive impact I've seen from using Elastic Search includes replacing conventional databases and being able to store much more unstructured data."
"The most valuable feature is the out of the box Kibana."
"Implementing the main requirements regarding my support portal​."
"The speed with which Elastic Search is able to search through all of the documents we place into it is quite remarkable, as we search through 65 billion documents in less than a second in most cases, on a constant consistent basis."
"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
 

Cons

"This product could be improved with additional security, and the addition of support for machine learning devices."
"It is hard to learn and understand because it is a very big platform."
"There is another solution I'm testing which has a 500 record limit when you do a search on Elastic Enterprise Search."
"They should improve its documentation. Their official documentation is not very informative."
"This is not exactly a stable solution, which is why we are considering another compatible tool, and whether we go on with Elasticsearch or change it."
"There is a lack of technical people to develop, implement and optimize equipment operation and web queries."
"Scalability of Elastic Search presents disadvantages, particularly when handling minimal or production-level data."
"Logstash has been a challenge and needs improvements in data ingestion reconciliation."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"We are paying $1,500 a month to use the solution. If you want to have endpoint protection you need to pay more."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"An X-Pack license is more affordable than Splunk."
"It can be expensive."
"The price of Elastic Enterprise is very, very competitive."
