"Elastic observability enigma - A profound analysis of pervasive real time monitoring and analytics."
What do you like best about Elastic Observability?

I like one of the best features of the elastic observabilty is the elastic search, which I really enjoyed. This facilitates a rapid search for the necessary logs and provides a wide range of filter options for querying to extract the necessary data from the logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Observability?

Occasionally, findings may not be entirely correct during the fetching process, and there may be extreme delays.

And because there is so much integrated and it is not very user-friendly, I find the experience to be a little challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Leading observability tool, anyone should install and try it once"
What do you like best about Elastic Observability?

there are so many features, unfortunately it is overkill. You need to tune your solution for your own needs. Anyone on the IT industry, who is looking for a observability tool needs to try it at least once(POC, Testing).

Elastic defined all the standarts on this observability stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Observability?

Overkill for the details, you need to be preciese about the needs. Otherwise you will get lot of information with no result. The latest AI additions are useless, there needs to be some templating to make things simpler.

Ressource consumption is another downside. You need a real cluster with a lot of fast IO disks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overviewing all our customer data for deep-dive analysis & modulating actionable insights is superb"
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.

"The best solution to manage our logs"
What do you like best about Elastic Observability?

It allows to search keywords or attributes pushed by fluent D filter in text format and returns JSON documents based on the search keywords and selected time frame. More than going through each Kubernetes log it's easy to search any issue within a few seconds around whole log files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Observability?

When we use the elastic search API over HTTP it will take much time to return the JSON response when the log files' weight becomes terabytes. However, it can be avoided using backup and clearing the old logs from the storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kibana - Goto Dashboard for monitoring"
What do you like best about Elastic Observability?

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.
