Senior Software Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
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.

Higher conversion rates with an advanced algorithm and intuitive interface
An area for improvement is the interface language, as our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage. Additionally, simplifying interactions with the Luigi's Box team, such as through localized support or tools tailored to non-English-speaking users, would improve collaboration. These changes would ensure a more seamless integration of the solution into our daily operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Attack Discovery feature helps to dig into incidents from where they occurred to determine how the incident originated and its source; it gives an entire path of attack propagation, showing when it started, what happened, and all events that took place to connect the entire cyber incident."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"Search is really powerful."
"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application. Saves time in triage and incident response by eliminating manual steps to access and parse logs on separate systems, within large infrastructure footprints."
"Elastic Search is much better, and Kibana is also invaluable."
"It is a stable and good platform."
"The solution has good security features. I have been happy with the dashboards and interface."
"We chose Elasticsearch because we could build a model in a short amount of time, allowing us to build a whole setup in one month and get 93% accuracy, with complex AI-based features built in a shorter span and with high accuracy that wasn't possible with other search enterprise vendors we used."
"In analytics, we can see what our visitors can't find with us, because we can look in history to see what products they wanted to search for and couldn't find. We can see the exact number of people who wanted to find something."
"Thanks to this solution, we’ve seen a significant improvement in our conversion rate (CVR) compared to last year, proving its effectiveness in driving performance and optimizing results."
"The seamless integration with our e-commerce platform has made it easy to implement and manage, allowing us to focus on delivering a top-notch user experience."
"This smart search capability significantly reduces the time customers spend searching for products, as it anticipates their needs and suggests the most pertinent results."
"Luigi's Box has brought substantial enhancements to our company, particularly by enriching the search experience on our website. Through its powerful search capabilities, our customers can effortlessly locate their desired products, resulting in heightened satisfaction and conversion rates."
"Luigi's Box was easy to implement and allowed me to get started quickly."
"Within the dashboard, the application offers data analysis that works with different views of the customer data. This data is graphically processed and thus does not need to be further modified for better interpretation."
"Luigi's Box is helpful in implementing even non-standard requirements."
 

Cons

"Scalability and ROI are the areas they have to improve."
"We had initially planned to expand use of ELK because of its cheap price and the services that are included, but given the difficulty with implementation we've decided to go with Nagios instead."
"The metadata gets stored along with indexes and isn't queryable."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. We faced a few issues."
"I think the pricing of Elastic Search is really, really expensive."
"I would like to see more open source tools and testing as well as a signature analysis in the solution."
"In Elastic Search, the improvements I would like to see require many resources."
"This product could be improved with additional security, and the addition of support for machine learning devices."
"An area for improvement is the interface language, as our team mainly speaks French."
"Our products are really diverse. Not everything can be done automatically, and manual intervention is required."
"More robust guidelines on optimization techniques would be highly valuable."
"Our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage."
"However, we know that there's always room for improvement, and Luigi's Box has already made a lot of progress and it is still increasing its value and adding new features."
"Deeper use of AI and ML - although with the advent of AI, new features have been implemented into Luigi's Box, there is still room for deeper integration."
"The product is already at a very high level, but there is always room for further improvements, especially when we want to keep up with specific requirements and rapidly changing market trends."
"Integration with GA4 and a plugin integrating with Google Looker Studio would be very useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version for some logs, but not extensive use."
"It can be expensive."
"Although the ELK Elasticsearch software is open-source, we buy the hardware."
"The solution is less expensive than Stackdriver and Grafana."
"we are using a licensed version of the product."
"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 price of Elastic Enterprise is very, very competitive."
"It can move from $10,000 US Dollars per year to any price based on how powerful you need the searches to be and the capacity in terms of storage and process."
