The best part I liked in Elastic APM monitoring is to monitor database queries by application and also external HTTP request calls. This helps to give the performance analysis of the requests/flows of API's in application and databases. Customer support is also very good and easy to approach in case of any issues.

Integrations are bit complex with the application systems is one of the major challenges I have faced. Since I got good customer support from Elastic team things was sorted in quick time.

KQL can be intimidating for a newbies. Setting of time frame is jumpy - I do not want kibana change my "last 25 hours" to "1 day ago", furthermore, setting time "Now" should not need to be done in two clicks! One could be enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elastic APM solving and how is that benefiting you?

On the downside I find that the platform lacks user friendliness and intuitive navigation compared to APM systems. It requires a learning curve, which is frustrating. The lack of documentation and support, from the team adds to this frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elastic APM?

It has powerful processing and indexing for all my application data, providing a great Kibana dashboard. Very easy to config on the cloud and ok for on-prem. Creating custom labels for better indexing as well is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic APM?

We face a little problem during implementation with encoding, allowing origin setup and other minor properties, but that delayed our deployment to PRD. Although the documentation is great, sometimes only with test and error could we understand some calls or configs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elastic APM solving and how is that benefiting you?

It groups all our application data, no matter the technology we have (today we have c#, vue.js, OutSystems, APIs) and could integrate all logs to one place only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
