Easily visualize your environment's performance and forecast its capacity
Our company uses the solution for forecasting capacity and performance via cloud visualization that is maintained by Dell.  The solution is a maintenance tool that is used by our storage and backup teams to view PowerScale and our cloud.  The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable.  PowerScale…

A solution offering stability, good support, and a straightforward setup phase
Right now, I don't have any comments on what needs to be improved because I handle the delivery unit at a CEO's level. So, it's my team who works hands-on and on a day-to-day basis. Hence, they may be the right people to comment on this. The price of the solution can make a 100 percent difference. I think the licensing model may not have major issues because it's only a node-based one or something. However, the customers should first consume the existing features completely because quite a few customers do not use the complete capacity of Elastic's enterprise version. So that's how things are in India right now. The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"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."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
More Elastic Observability pros
 

Cons

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
More Elastic Observability cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"We have been using the open-source version."
"Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."
"So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
"The product is not that cheap."
"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
"Elastic Observability is cheaper than other similar solutions, such as Dynatrace. Its license calculation is based on various factors like data volume and physical infrastructure, particularly related to RAM capacity."
