Senior Software Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product has notably improved the way we store and use logs, from having a more user-friendly, centralized solution (for those who just needed a quick glance, without being masters of sed and awk) to implementing various mechanisms for machine-learning from our logs, and sending alerts for anomalies."
"Dashboard is very customizable."
"You have dashboards, it is visual, there are maps, you can create canvases. It's more visual than anything that I've ever used."
"Implementing the main requirements regarding my support portal​."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its utility and usefulness."
"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"I am impressed with the product's Logstash. The tool is fast and customizable. You can build beautiful dashboards with it. It is useful and reliable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Within the dashboard, the application offers data analysis that works with different views of the customer data. This data is graphically processed and thus does not need to be further modified for better interpretation."
"Its seamless integration with existing platforms streamlines workflows, making it an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes."
"The most useful feature of the Luigi's Box product is the extensive analytics. We can see in beautiful graphs what exactly visitors to our e-shop searched for."
"Luigi's Box was easy to implement and allowed me to get started quickly."
"Luigi's Box increased conversion rates and improved user experience on the website."
"Thanks to this solution, we’ve seen a significant improvement in our conversion rate (CVR) compared to last year, proving its effectiveness in driving performance and optimizing results."
"We value the smart search feature the most since it immediately offers relevant results to customers, even if they don't know the exact name of the product."
"This smart search capability significantly reduces the time customers spend searching for products, as it anticipates their needs and suggests the most pertinent results."
 

Cons

"It is hard to learn and understand because it is a very big platform. This is the main reason why we still have nothing in production. We have to learn some things before we get there."
"The setup is somewhat complicated due to multiple dependencies and relations with different systems."
"It was not possible to use authentication three years back. You needed to buy the product's services for authentication."
"There are some features lacking in ELK Elasticsearch."
"Elastic Enterprise Search's tech support is good but it could be improved."
"I don't see improvements at the moment. The current setup is working well for me, and I'm satisfied with it. Integrating with different platforms is also fine, and I'm not recommending any changes or enhancements right now."
"Maybe Elastic Search could improve the analytics part of the search so it can be more powerful to the user."
"They should improve its documentation. Their official documentation is not very informative. They can also improve their technical support. They don't help you much with the customized stuff. They also need to add more visuals. Currently, they have line charts, bar charts, and things like that, and they can add more types of visuals. They should also improve the alerts. They are not very simple to use and are a bit complex. They could add more options to the alerting system."
"More robust guidelines on optimization techniques would be highly valuable."
"Deeper use of AI and ML - although with the advent of AI, new features have been implemented into Luigi's Box, there is still room for deeper integration."
"We have been using the service for more than two years, and our experience is only positive."
"When setting up banner ads in the search window, it takes a long time for the banners to appear."
"Our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage."
"It could simplify the implementation on the website."
"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."
"However, we know that there's always room for improvement, and Luigi's Box has already made a lot of progress and it is still increasing its value and adding new features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Elastic Enterprise is very, very competitive."
"The solution is less expensive than Stackdriver and Grafana."
"The cost varies based on factors like usage volume, network load, data storage size, and service utilization. If your usage isn't too extensive, the cost will be lower."
"we are using a licensed version of the product."
"It can move from $10,000 US Dollars per year to any price based on how powerful you need the searches to be and the capacity in terms of storage and process."
"ELK has been considered as an alternative to Splunk to reduce licensing costs."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing model is questionable and needs to be addressed because when you would like to have the security they charge per machine."
