Featured Reviews

Saurav Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements
Logsign provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements. The indexing is very high, making it effective for storing and retrieving logs. The real-time analytics with Elastic benefits us due to the huge traffic volume in our organization, which reaches up to 60,000 requests per second. With logs of approximately 25 GB per day, manually analyzing traffic behavior, payloads, headers, user agents, and other details is impractical.
Manilal Kasera - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is valuable for log analytics."
"Implementing the main requirements regarding my support portal​."
"Search is really powerful."
"We had many reasons to implement Elasticsearch for search term solutions. Elasticsearch products provide enterprise landscape support for different areas of the company."
"It is a stable and good platform."
"ELK Elasticsearch is 100% scalable as scalability is built into the design"
"You have dashboards, it is visual, there are maps, you can create canvases. It's more visual than anything that I've ever used."
"The observability is the best available because it provides granular insights that identify reasons for defects."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
 

Cons

"New Relic could be more flexible, similar to Elasticsearch."
"Elastic Search needs to improve authentication. It also needs to work on the Kibana visualization dashboard."
"There are a lot of manual steps on the operating system. It could be simplified in the user interface."
"The solution has quite a steep learning curve. The usability and general user-friendliness could be improved. However, that is kind of typical with products that have a lot of flexibility, or a lot of capabilities. Sometimes having more choices makes things more complex. It makes it difficult to configure it, though. It's kind of a bitter pill that you have to swallow in the beginning and you really have to get through it."
"Elastic Enterprise Search could improve the report templates."
"Technical support should be faster."
"The solution must provide AI integrations."
"While integrating with tools like agents for ingesting data from sources like firewalls is valuable, I believe prioritizing improvements to the core product would be more beneficial."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is questionable and needs to be addressed because when you would like to have the security they charge per machine."
"We are using the free version and intend to upgrade."
"ELK has been considered as an alternative to Splunk to reduce licensing costs."
"The premium license is expensive."
"The basic license is free, but it comes with a lot of features that aren't free. With a gold license, we get active directory integration. With a platinum license, we get alerting."
"We are using the open-sourced version."
"It can move from $10,000 US Dollars per year to any price based on how powerful you need the searches to be and the capacity in terms of storage and process."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
