Elastic Stack Reviews & Product Details

Elastic stack gives us the ability to aggregate logs from all our systems and applications, analyze these logs, and create visualizations for application and infrastructure monitoring, faster troubleshooting, security analytics, and more.It is very easy to use and implement and it easily gets integrated with various other tools in Cyberspace.

The logs can be used to generate graphs and representations on the dashboards which can be used by various teams as a central point of reference to drive the governance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elastic Stack software is free to use, but building, growing, and maintaining the Elastic Stack requires infrastructure and resources. Whether you deploy on-premises or in the cloud, your costs for computing and data storage will depend on:

The total log volume you aggregate daily from all applications, systems, and networks.

How long you will retain data for either indexing or archiving.

Also, there is some latency to populate the graphs at times and this needs to be fixed to have a good end user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the standout features of Elastic Stack that I particularly appreciate is its ability to seamlessly handle data at scale while offering a wide range of powerful functions.

First and foremost, Elastic Stack's search and analytics capabilities are exceptional. With Elasticsearch as the core component, it provides lightning-fast search results and performs complex analytics on large volumes of data with impressive efficiency. Whether it's searching through vast amounts of textual information, aggregating and visualizing data, or performing advanced analytics, Elastic Stack's search functionality is highly robust and flexible.

While Elastic Stack offers numerous powerful features, there are a few areas where it may have some limitations or drawbacks.

One aspect that can be challenging is the complexity of configuration and management. Elastic Stack consists of multiple components, each with its own configuration settings and dependencies. Configuring and fine-tuning the stack to suit specific requirements can be time-consuming, especially for users who are new to the system. Additionally, managing a distributed deployment with multiple nodes can be complex, requiring careful planning and expertise to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

The Elastic Stack provides integration options with various data sources, platforms, and systems. It supports data ingestion from diverse sources such as databases, file systems, messaging systems, and cloud platforms. It also offers integration with other tools and frameworks, making it easier to incorporate the Elastic Stack into existing workflows and environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the Elastic Stack provides features for securing data and controlling access, ensuring robust security and access control requires careful configuration and implementation. Organizations need to invest time and effort into setting up appropriate security measures, such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and firewall configurations, to protect sensitive data.

What I like best about Kibana is how fast it is in fetching and visualizing data.

Also, it eases of conversion of visualization and dashboard into reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plugins addition does not always work right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

best search engine which can give the response in the minimum time.

Integration with kibana and logstash is great providing the max flexibility.Also it can hold lot of data in a compressed form Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is bit old

There are no ai support in the elastic stack including logstash and kibana.

They need to work on the UI to get to the stage where its usage expands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only platform that has drawn me to work and offers our organisation major advantages is Elastic Stack. I adore it to pieces! I enjoy all of its features because they give us a comprehensive asset management solution, which enables us to be more nimble in our business operations. Not only does it have asset management capabilities, but it also has some of the greatest tools for accelerating our searches and assuring the safety of our assets. It's a terrific approach to prevent downtime for our mission-critical equipment, which would interfere with how we conduct business. Overall, it's an excellent tool that increases our emotions of productivity and reduces stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We occasionally have problems while integrating Kibana. The speed might be significantly affected if the setup is wrong. To learn about other features and their purposes, it may be required to go into the documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, its very easy to get started with simple and easy to follow intsructions

Good documentation

extremely customizable with the help of REST Apis

can be scaled quickly as its designed to be distributed from day 1

good community support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to be expert in distributed systems and Elastic stack if managing big and mission crtical Elasticsearch clusters

ELK stack is very popular but has its own leaning curve when trying to achive more advanced use-case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elastic stack gives us the flexibility of searching our data efficiently. The best part of this stack is that it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They do not allow easy handling of multiple documents and making buckets to search on a non index value Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dashboards : these are best to get overview of entire jobs or functions.

I love querying and logging logs to elastic which we can query very easily and filter data we require.The best part is date range we can filter the results with date range filter is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's kind of steep learning curve and sometimes results will fetch too much data if you don't specify exactly what you are looking for.Ui is not great but it's okay to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can ingest just about anything into the Elastic stack. You can do just about anything you want with your data as well. As far as SIEMs are concerned, it is probably one of the most powerful for the least amount of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat of a steep learning curve. When your clusters really start to grow, you have to know what you are doing with all the different nodes, ILM policies, indices and shards to keep the cluster healthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
