\* Mobile support is nice

\* CVS export data also helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Observability?

\* Kibana 4 interface is more complicated than 3.

\* Small things like finding out how to generate short urls is hard to find

\* Re-creating saved dashboards in 4 wasn't a 1:1 parity transfer.

\* Sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for because the incoming logs are bleak. The flow is all over the place.

\* The scrolling fixed position CSS they do is also quite annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elastic Observability:

It's very overwhelming at first. I recommend learning all types of queries (field base queries, regex queries, range queries, boolean, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
