Elastic gives you freedoms to create the solution you need
What do you like best about the product?
Elastic has a great community and support that can be talked to and used in order to create and implement solutions. their are a plethera of prebuilt features in the platform such as the security solution that you can leverage and integrate with other platforms in order to create the solution that you need. I am in elastic every day and am able to create and monitor the solutions i need easily in order to perform my job.
What do you dislike about the product?
With Elastic their are many features and some of which start to feel the same but with a different spin. due to the pure amount of features sometimes it appears that something isnt possible but it is you just used the wrong method at the start and now have to go back and change some items around in ingest as an example in order to make it possible. Theirs no 1 way of doing things which sometimes makes it complicated as you know it may be able to be done but you just didnt pick the correct method.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elastic is making it easy to search documents and find the information you are looking for. With elasticsearch i am able to search for my documents and find them really easily as well as in a very quick manner. Elastic makes it easy to find data. Elastic also has a good amount of security audit logs that can be used in order to track what is occuring within the instance and monitor to ensure everything is working as intended.
Smooth and Easy to setup
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty easy to install and implement on openshift clusters and also provides quick search on the documents ingested
What do you dislike about the product?
As we are using it for a specific purpose, we are not experiencing any issues as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searching through the documents and providing the quick response on the requested data.
Elastic for Security
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of implementation for the entire stack has been the greatest asset of our deployment. The amount of integrations and ability to get data from a lot of locations has been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support has been an issue for me lately, I have had to repeat my statements numerous times in cases instead of just reading what was posted. I can't fault 100% elastic as I have had similar issues with other companies as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution has provided us a SIEM at a Costpoint that didn't break the bank.
Amazing solution for introducing AI search with great company support
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is comprehensive yet still approachable and well documented for all configuration needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a support case does not always lead to quickly talking to a domain expert and it's often better to go through the sales engineer for help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise data search and monitoring/logs
I love Elasticsearch
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the comprehensive underlying architecture that Elasticsearch is built on, it's easy to integrate into just about any environment, easy to implement the various capabilities, maintain, and use but difficult enough to master.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't find anything particularly to dislike, there are things I do not currently utilize(ML) but absolutely plan to incorporate in future deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elasticsearch helps my company solve enterprise cyber security analysis.
Love the company.

Elasticsearch Review
What do you like best about the product?
- Reliable at scale: sharding and replication deliver solid HA; rolling restarts and node recovery are predictable when procedures are followed.
- Great for observability: fast searches/aggregations and the Elastic stack make log/metrics/APM pipelines effective for troubleshooting.
- Good ops surface: rich APIs and CAT endpoints make it scriptable, monitorable, and easy to automate runbooks.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Finicky to run well: JVM/heap sizing, shard counts, and segment merges need care—or they bite during peak.
- Changes can be risky: upgrades, reindexing, and rebalances can cause latency spikes without tight change control.
- Costly footprint: hot nodes are CPU/IO heavy; replicas and long retention drive storage costs; licensing/features add complexity.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elasticsearch lets us deliver fast, relevant search and discovery across our articles. New articles become searchable within seconds, and aggregations power features like “most read,” topic pages, and related-article widgets. Flexible analyzers handle titles, body text, tags, and authors without rigid schemas, while replicas keep article search available during node failures. Net result: lower query latency, higher reader engagement, and a simpler path from article publish to discovery.
Senior Software Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
Data ingestion, Dashboards, Snapshots (Frozen Tier)
What do you dislike about the product?
Kibana could be better in of pagination, remembering number of lines selected, instead of defaulting to 25 lines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently have many use cases, like ingesting data from our Banking app which is then used for 3rd level support, customer queries, fraud detection, audit logs, system metrics and monitoring
great experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like best how Elasticsearch handles large amounts of data in a scalable and efficient manner, making it easier to manage and scale as my data grows. Additionally, the extensive community support and integration with other tools make it a valuable addition to my data processing workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I appreciate the many benefits Elasticsearch provides, some drawbacks include the steep learning curve, potential complexity in management and maintenance, and the risk of performance overhead. Additionally, ensuring security configurations and managing data consistency issues are crucial to avoiding potential data loss or corruption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elasticsearch is addressing my organization's problems with inefficient data searching, complex analysis, and security issues. By providing a scalable, secure, and efficient infrastructure for data processing and search, Elasticsearch has significantly improved our productivity, decision-making capacity, and overall competitiveness
