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 most valuable feature of Elastic Enterprise Search is user behavior analysis."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"The products comes with REST APIs."
"The forced merge and forced resonate features reduce the data size increasing reliability."
"Dashboard is very customizable."
"Using real-time search functionality to support operational decisions has been helpful."
"ELK Elasticsearch is 100% scalable as scalability is built into the design"
"Gives us a more user-friendly, centralized solution (for those who just needed a quick glance, without being masters of sed and awk) as well as the ability to implement various mechanisms for machine-learning from our logs, and sending alerts for anomalies."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"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."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"Great features available in one tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"The documentation regarding customization could be better."
"The pricing of this product needs to be more clear because I cannot understand it when I review the website."
"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's tech support is good but it could be improved."
"Performance improvement could come from skipping background refresh on search idle shards (which is already being addressed in the upcoming seventh version)."
"We see the need for some improvements with Elasticsearch. We would like the Elasticsearch package to include training lessons for our staff."
"I don't see improvements at the moment. The current setup is working well for me, and I'm satisfied with it. Integrating with different platforms is also fine, and I'm not recommending any changes or enhancements right now."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free open-sourced version of this solution."
"This product is open-source and can be used free of charge."
"We are paying $1,500 a month to use the solution. If you want to have endpoint protection you need to pay more."
"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."
"An X-Pack license is more affordable than Splunk."
"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."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The premium license is expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
