EM Ever M. Manager & Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/14/2026 "APM is a Game-Changer for GKE Infrastructure" 5/5 What do you like best about Elastic Observability? I used Elastic Observability to track my GKE infrastructure and everything ran smoothly. I appreciate the APM feature the most because it allows me to see the interaction between the more than 80 pods I have on my GKE. Before using this, tracking logs was a nightmare, but APM makes it easy to see how data travels between pods. This helps me identify which ones need attention. Initial setup was really easy, and overall, I'm very satisfied with its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? Maybe there could be more pre-built dashboards to simplify GKE insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? Elastic Observability makes tracking my GKE infrastructure smooth. APM helps me see interactions between my 80+ pods, turning a nightmare of log tracking into identifying which pods need attention.

Solutions Architect Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/10/2026 "Easy to Start, Tech-Agnostic, and Packed with AI—Elastic Delivers Daily" 5/5 What do you like best about Elastic Observability? It’s quite easy to get started with. The fact that Elastic is technology-agnostic makes it straightforward to learn and to integrate with other technologies. For example, I initially began using it through Google’s Cloud Marketplace, but at one point I hesitated because Google Cloud already has a product called Cloud Monitoring. Still, I decided to give Elastic a chance and try it, and honestly, it’s a terrific product. There’s a lot of AI-related functionality, and the fact that it has an MCP server I can use makes it really easy to implement and work with. I now use it daily as part of my job operations. Regarding support, I have an MSP contract with a company, so I get first-hand support from them, and only the toughest cases are escalated to Elastic. To be completely transparent, once a case reaches Elastic, the process is quite easy and the response is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? It’s really hard to have a productive conversation with my manager and other decision-makers about why Elastic is a good choice. For example, most of my company relies on New Relic for observability, so it’s difficult to clearly show the benefits of switching or adding Elastic. Other products have stronger “sales” sites and materials that I can use to compare and contrast, but Elastic isn’t very good at selling the product in a way that helps internally. It’s an amazing product, yet I don’t have an effective way to present its value and benefits to C-level stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? My company is adopting an SRE culture, and Elastic has been easy to implement. It’s also straightforward to create metrics based on our needs. Most tools rely on predefined metrics, whereas in Elastic it’s really easy to create more complex metrics that we can use to assess whether a service is up or down, and whether it’s working or not working.

I find Elastic Observability really helpful for collecting and viewing logs from all of our on-prem servers. The ability to view all logs in one place and monitor server metrics is great. I particularly like being able to view current running processes with Elastic Agent, as it helps a lot when debugging servers and identifying processes that cause CPU usage spikes. The initial setup was very easy and pretty straightforward, which I appreciate. Overall, these features make Elastic Observability a valuable tool for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Elastic Observability? It could be overwhelming to view all the logs without any proper filtering for a first time user. Also, there's a bit of a learning curve to know where everything is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

I also feel it’s missing more built-in dashboards and templates tailored to specific adapters or data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you? Our use cases include log storage, APM, anomaly detection, and metrics.
