Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers good stability."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It helps us to analyse the logs based on the location, user, and other log parameters."
"It is stable."
"The initial setup is very easy for small environments."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Enterprise Search are it's cloud-ready and we do a lot of infrastructure as code. By using ELK, we're able to deploy the solution as part of our ISC deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the out of the box Kibana."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"Provides the ability to control how indexing and searching perform and controls how the scoring for search results is done, letting you customize the search experience according to your needs."
"The valuable features are automation and multiple connectors available out of the box. It is simple to manage and easier to use for all users."
 

Cons

"The real-time search functionality is not operational due to its impact on system resources."
"Elastic Enterprise Search could improve its SSL integration easier. We should not need to go to the back-end servers to do configuration, we should be able to do it on the GUI."
"There is an index issue in which the data starts to crash as it increases."
"Elastic Enterprise Search can improve by adding some kind of search that can be used out of the box without too much struggle with configuration. With every kind of search engine, there is some kind of special function that you need to do. A simple out-of-the-box search would be useful."
"Elastic Search could benefit from a more user-friendly onboarding process for beginners."
"Technical support should be faster."
"I would like to be able to do correlations between multiple indexes."
"Enterprise scaling of what have been essentially separate, free open source software (FOSS) products has been a challenge, but the folks at Elastic have published new add-ons (X-Pack and ECE) to help large companies grow ELK to required scales."
"Having some kind of prebuilt client UI will be helpful."
"The solution could improve by adding more AI and natural language processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"we are using a licensed version of the product."
"The price of Elastic Enterprise is very, very competitive."
"This product is open-source and can be used free of charge."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"It can be expensive."
"The tool is not expensive. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"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 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."
"The price of the solution is a little high and the downside is there is not a perpetual license available. I have to renew it annually. The price of Lucidworks can be difficult for some of my clients to afford."
