Recommendations to others considering Elastic Observability:
One must definitely consider using Elasticsearch in their enterprise application suite.
Few reasons being:
1) Did not find any other tool which provides so informative visualisation of logs on a user friendly dashboard.
2) JSON based query language which is easy to learn, adopt and use.
3) Can process millions of records with ease.
4) Can be considered if near real time logging is accepted and real time logging is not required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Elastic Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

5) Very powerful tool for visualization of Logs, events that flow across multiple streaming platforms like Kafka, Spark etc.
6) Filtering based on various criteria to narrow down the search results.
