S Sam . Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/22/2026 "Insightful, But Needs Improved Customization" 4/5 What do you like best about Elastic Observability? I appreciate Elastic Observability for making everything visible with a single dashboard and its ability to monitor my environments effectively. The timeline feature is handy for determining if a problem is connected to a single server or more, which saves time compared to searching on the server itself. What stands out most for me is the AI-powered insights, along with the LLM and Generative AI integrations that enhance its capabilities. I also value the LLM observability, automated pattern detection, and dashboard automation. Plus, the initial setup was very easy and done really fast with just a few individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? Dashboard and customization challenges for first-time users. The entire first-time manual setup is pretty time-consuming, also searching through every possible query. If that could be done with an assistant it would save a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloud Engineer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/6/2022 "Overviewing all our customer data for deep-dive analysis & modulating actionable insights is superb" 4/5 What do you like best about Elastic Observability? Elastic Observability is a powerful platform for observing transactions & telemetry customer data so that we can correlate issues within a short duration. This also helps us to handle Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR) efficiently, which is crucial for our end users. Along with the internal state of our applications, we can also gain insights into their dependencies & potential vulnerabilities to prevent production failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? Improvements in the documentation would be helpful while we work with various data connection and visualization requirements. It will also ease the complexities faced during Agent setup for our environment. Elastic Observability is apt for our enterprise needs as it aggregates, correlates and inspects our application's telemetry data to visualize our functionalities.

I like the watchers feature the most. It is very useful in support lifecycle. we create events n our logging and then we once we create the watchers for the given event. the watcher gets alerted. we can also write an action like triggering a slack notification that will alert the monitoring team. this has helped our team in championing the proactive monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? in watchers, the queries are limited unlike the free search/ lucene query. sometimes, its difficult to write a complex query for filtering an event in watcher script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? we are using Kibana to bridge our monitoring and support lifecycle of the applications. Once we receive a failure event in application, we log it which will be picked by the watcher in Kibana and triggers a notification to monitoring team; who in turn looks at the event and decides whether to flag it to support team or not. In this way, we capture production failures much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Student Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/23/2022 "Logs Visualiser" 4/5 What do you like best about Elastic Observability? Dashboards and visualization feature in Kibana is really great. There are tons of ways you can visualize and analyse your data. The feature of importing and exporting object helps save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? It's a bit complex to integrate kibana as application logging tool. There will be many challenges on setting up agents and if the agent faces some issue then that can cause issues in log file rotation. Data is retained for less number of days and it can become more expensive if you need more data retention period. However, it does offer cold storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Elastic Observability: If you are moving to Kibana from any other vendor and are not aware of ELK then I would recommend first learn about it and then use the tool because it will help you gain knowledge on how data exactly flows from application server to the dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Kibana for API logging and monitoring.
