Logging and vector search have transformed observability and empowered reliable ai agents
Elastic Search is not specifically being used for certain purposes. I deploy Elastic Search database on the cloud and use cloud services so that nobody can attack. However, I do not use Elastic Search to resolve attack issues. The basic main purpose of Elastic Search, as of now, I feel it can do more in the AI area. Sometime I saw that when I am developing RAG and have to generate the embeddings, which I call metadata, sometimes it tries to fail. That durability or issue handling should be improved, but apart from that, I did not find anything as of now. As per my use case, whatever I am using seems pretty good. Apart from that, some definitely improvement will be there. One improvement is that it should be faster. Whenever I am searching any logs, it takes much time. For example, if I open my log in Notepad or a similar tool, I can search the text within a second. With Elastic Search, it takes a little bit of time, ten to fifteen seconds. That can be improved. Sometimes, engineers take time to assign when I create a ticket.

Higher conversion rates with an advanced algorithm and intuitive interface
An area for improvement is the interface language, as our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage. Additionally, simplifying interactions with the Luigi's Box team, such as through localized support or tools tailored to non-English-speaking users, would improve collaboration. These changes would ensure a more seamless integration of the solution into our daily operations.

Pros

"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"I think that Elasticsearch is a good product and cheaper than Splunk."
"Using real-time search functionality to support operational decisions has been helpful."
"In the last 18 months Elastic has really caught up and also gone way beyond AWS by putting together all the missing components that make ELK Elasticsearch the most comprehensive stack in the entire Big Data ecosystem."
"Elastic Search, being a vector database, quickly indexes data, allowing for searches based on text and data directly, which I found fascinating."
"The pricing and license model are clear: node-based model."
"The most valuable features are its user-friendly interface and seamless navigation."
"The solution is very good with no issues or glitches."
"The seamless integration with our e-commerce platform has made it easy to implement and manage, allowing us to focus on delivering a top-notch user experience."
"Luigi's Box increased conversion rates and improved user experience on the website."
"Luigi's Box was easy to implement and allowed me to get started quickly."
"Its seamless integration with existing platforms streamlines workflows, making it an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes."
"In analytics, we can see what our visitors can't find with us, because we can look in history to see what products they wanted to search for and couldn't find. We can see the exact number of people who wanted to find something."

Cons

"The documentation regarding customization could be better."
"Whenever I am searching any logs, it takes much time; for example, if I open my log in Notepad or a similar tool, I can search the text within a second, but with Elastic Search, it takes a little bit of time, ten to fifteen seconds."
"The metadata gets stored along with indexes and isn't queryable."
"I know many customers who lost their data and could not recover it."
"This solution is stable, but at times the stack will freeze and you have to remove and recreate the cluster."
"Elastic Search needs to improve authentication. It also needs to work on the Kibana visualization dashboard."
"The different applications need to be individually deployed."
"Apart from the good things, what I would like to see improved or enhanced in Elastic Search is the storage cost."
"When setting up banner ads in the search window, it takes a long time for the banners to appear."
"We have been using the service for more than two years, and our experience is only positive."
"Our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage."
"Enhancing the reporting and analytics capabilities would provide us with deeper insights into user behavior and search trends, helping us optimize our offerings further."
"An area for improvement is the interface language, as our team mainly speaks French."
"The product is already at a very high level, but there is always room for further improvements, especially when we want to keep up with specific requirements and rapidly changing market trends."
"Integration with GA4 and a plugin integrating with Google Looker Studio would be very useful."
"Enhancing the user interface to be more intuitive and user-friendly could significantly reduce the learning curve for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"we are using a licensed version of the product."
"An X-Pack license is more affordable than Splunk."
"We are using the free open-sourced version of this solution."
"The premium license is expensive."
"The solution is free."
"This is a free, open source software (FOSS) tool, which means no cost on the front-end. There are no free lunches in this world though. Technical skill to implement and support are costly on the back-end with ELK, whether you train/hire internally or go for premium services from Elastic."
"Although the ELK Elasticsearch software is open-source, we buy the hardware."
"Elastic Search is open-source, but you need to pay for support, which is expensive."
