Stefan Decuypere - PeerSpot reviewer
Technology Consultant at Hybrid software
Real-time dashboards and visual insights have streamlined issue analysis and monitoring
After careful consideration about areas for improvement in Elastic Observability, aspects such as pricing, customization, implementation, and scalability could be improved. As a user of the system, I know what it costs but am not directly involved in cost-benefit evaluations or maintenance, which is handled by another team. I develop the visual representation of the data and frankly, I don't see major gaps in my application or anything I would really miss; I appreciate the fast pace of the developments that have occurred in the last couple of years. Regarding room for improvement in Elastic Observability, I would have preferred built-in tools to manage the indexes on deployment for better visual representation, as the initial feedback regarding system performance and data storage was fairly primitive and lacking.

Real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast and very easy to use
The alerting and real-time analytics helped the security team. They are using a Hadoop database, so real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast. Queries return results quickly and in very small time. It has full automation and automated SIEM responses. We are currently only testing Logsign, but in a few months, we plan to integrate our servers, routers, firewalls, and endpoints into our company's Logsign instance. Then, we can manage everything using Logsign.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has connectors to many services."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"I found Elk to be excellent for log analytics, security analytics, application code-level analytics, collaboration with DevOps teams, CI/CD, microservices, and Kubernetes, specifically cloud-native or cloud-specific tasks."
"The solution allows us to track performance via metrics and we're able to see where latency is happening."
"The very positive features are the cost effectiveness and the range of things that you can implement."
"All the features that we use, such as monitoring, dashboarding, reporting, the possibility of alerting, and the way we index the data, are important."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
 

Cons

"When I go to the portal, I do not see many insights on the endpoints or where there could be latencies."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"I would have preferred built-in tools to manage the indexes on deployment for better visual representation, as the initial feedback regarding system performance and data storage was fairly primitive and lacking."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
"We have been using the open-source version."
"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."
"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
"Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"The product is not that cheap."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
