Provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements
I can describe a project where we use Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK stack) for our archiving objectives. I work in the security department of a Fintech company in the payment industry. We use the ELK stack to connect our internal systems with the bank's systems and we used Beats for data…

Can seamlessly translate protocols and produce fairly quick results
Using the solution was great. It was part of the project that we didn't worry that much about. What I also liked about it was that even though I'm not that technical, I could go in and look at thoughts and events and confirm that the information we were looking for was making it across. I could check at the interface level and lessen the burden on validation within the application. The instrumentation within the solution is important. The ease of implementation is very important. Our partner development team had little trouble dealing with these diverse systems, with JSON on the one hand and SOAP on the other. The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great. The API-led connectivity is great. The reason that we took on the product was that we wanted to learn about it. We wanted to figure out how to use it. A big payoff for this will be in EHR integrations. These systems are all alike, yet they are all different. They all use EPIC, and each installation is a little bit different. It’s a challenge when we go to different hospitals. MuleSoft has made a name for itself in using the integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We had many reasons to implement Elasticsearch for search term solutions. Elasticsearch products provide enterprise landscape support for different areas of the company."
"I really like the visualization that you can do within it. That's really handy. Product-wise, it is a very good and stable product."
"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application. Saves time in triage and incident response by eliminating manual steps to access and parse logs on separate systems, within large infrastructure footprints."
"Elasticsearch includes a graphical user interface (GUI) called Kibana. The GUI features are extremely beneficial to us."
"The most valuable features are the ease and speed of the setup."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"Search is really powerful."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"API management."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
 

Cons

"The GUI is the part of the program which has the most room for improvement."
"The UI point of view is not very powerful because it is dependent on Kibana."
"Elastic Enterprise Search could improve the report templates."
"Elastic Search needs to improve its technical support. It should be customer-friendly and have good support."
"The reports could improve."
"The pricing of this product needs to be more clear because I cannot understand it when I review the website."
"Elastic Search should provide better guides for developers."
"New Relic could be more flexible, similar to Elasticsearch."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive because users have the option of choosing the managed or the subscription model."
"This product is open-source and can be used free of charge."
"The price could be better."
"The version of Elastic Enterprise Search I am using is open source which is free. The pricing model should improve for the enterprise version because it is very expensive."
"To access all the features available you require both the open source license and the production license."
"The solution is less expensive than Stackdriver and Grafana."
"Although the ELK Elasticsearch software is open-source, we buy the hardware."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
