"Kibana -Data Visualization."
What do you like best about Elastic Stack?

Kibana is an open source data visualization plugin for Elasticsearch. It provides us with a way to easily create and share beautiful dashboards filled with dynamic charts, graphs, and maps. It makes it easy to find insights in your data, and since it's fully integrated with Elasticsearch, you can use it to search, analyze, and visualize your data all in one .It's a definite recommendation for data analysis because it's so user-friendly and versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?

Major complaint is that it can be slow to load data sets, particularly those that are large. Additionally, I find the built-in visualizations confusing and difficult to use. It also does not currently have a way to export charts and graphs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is the best if you ask me about elastic stack but there is quite difficulty"
What do you like best about Elastic Stack?

Since I started using the Elastic Stack, I found it incredibly helpful. It makes it very easy to find the specific logs you want to see, thanks to its simple UI. Once you understand its features, it becomes effortless to use in your daily work. What amazes me the most is how fast it performs, especially as a programmer myself. I use it daily because, with Elastic, finding anything in production is quick and straightforward, and it's also very easy to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for Data Visualization"
What do you like best about Elastic Stack?

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.

What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?

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.

"Unlock the power of your Big data!"
What do you like best about Elastic Stack?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?

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.
