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

"It helps us to analyse the logs based on the location, user, and other log parameters."
"We have many advantages from the features of Elasticsearch, and we have enough possibilities and features with Elasticsearch for our business requirements."
"I really like the visualization that you can do within it; that's really handy, and product-wise, it is a very good and stable product."
"The solution offers good stability."
"Decision-making has become much faster due to real-time data and quick responses."
"Elasticsearch helps us to store the data in key value pairs and, based on that, we can produce visualisations in Kibana."
"The AI-based attribute tagging is a valuable feature."
"What I like the most about Elastic Search is that I can store my data and search throughout my document."
"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."
"Luigi's Box is helpful in implementing even non-standard requirements."
"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."
"Its seamless integration with existing platforms streamlines workflows, making it an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes."
"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."
"We value the smart search feature the most since it immediately offers relevant results to customers, even if they don't know the exact name of the product."
"Luigi's Box increased conversion rates and improved user experience on the website."
"This smart search capability significantly reduces the time customers spend searching for products, as it anticipates their needs and suggests the most pertinent results."
 

Cons

"Regarding what I dislike about Elastic Search, there is one issue that occurs because Elastic Search is not my primary database; it serves as a substitute database for the searching part."
"There are potential improvements based on our client feedback, like unifying the licensing cost structure."
"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."
"We see the need for some improvements with Elasticsearch. We would like the Elasticsearch package to include training lessons for our staff."
"There are challenges with performance management and scalability."
"They could improve some of the platform's infrastructure management capabilities."
"Technical support should be faster."
"There are some features lacking in ELK Elasticsearch."
"Integration with GA4 and a plugin integrating with Google Looker Studio would be very useful."
"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."
"Enhancing the reporting and analytics capabilities would provide us with deeper insights into user behavior and search trends, helping us optimize our offerings further."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the interface language, as our team mainly speaks French."
"It could simplify the implementation on the website."
"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."
"Our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is questionable and needs to be addressed because when you would like to have the security they charge per machine."
"The cost varies based on factors like usage volume, network load, data storage size, and service utilization. If your usage isn't too extensive, the cost will be lower."
"We are paying $1,500 a month to use the solution. If you want to have endpoint protection you need to pay more."
"The price could be better."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"Although the ELK Elasticsearch software is open-source, we buy the hardware."
