Elastic APM is very new so we haven't explored much on it, but it's quite interesting. It comes with a free offering included in the same license. So we are looking to explore more. It is still not as mature as other tools like Kibana, AppDynamics or New Relic products related to application performance monitoring. Elastic APM is still evolving, but it's quite interesting to be able to get all the similar options and features in Elastic APM.

The solution is more of an optional variety platform. It's more than an APM platform. It goes further than that. I'd describe it as a more complete tool. 

The licenses are unlimited and based on the number of elastic search hosts contrary to the other solutions that are working in a model for a license for each instance monitored, for example, which is actually a very good thing. 

The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions.

The solution allows us to track performance via metrics.

We're able to see where latency is happening. 

The solution allows us to dig deep into data.

Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform.

We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical.
