What do you like best about Elastic Stack?
Database exposed as a REST service! Seriously. Working with elasticsearch is so easy and fantastic experience. You get so many features out of the box - like full text search, document custom scoring, suggestions, results highlighting etc. And that's just tip of the iceberg. There are so many pluging like logstash and kibana for displaying metrics and logging. Also it is highly scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?
There's not much control over consistency of your data; if you want to see your data in some particular format - you might need to index it in a predefined way. Elasticsearch's query DSL is less normal and less adaptable than PostgresSQL's SQL. By default everything is indexed, which might create index overhead depending on your database schema. You would need to understand some terms, like tokenizers and analyzers in order to get to know how to properly query your data and how the data is stored in the index.

What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?
It takes some “coding” savvy to use Kibana. You have to learn the program’s language to get what you want out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elastic Stack?
It has the best interface to browse throw stream of logs. I've tried some commercial tools: Loggly, Papertrail and Logentries but I've switched back to stack Kibana + Logstash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?
I don't like that configuration format has been changed several times.
I would like to have interface to configure the Logstash plugins and settings in the Kibana interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elastic Stack?
It is a very powerful and flexible tool that enables search and retrieval very efficiently on commodity clusters. Text search is very flexible and customizable, which allows for almost any use cases you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?
The query language is complicated and not particularly intuitive (too many levels JSON nesting). Further, the native API is not very well documented and difficult to use. Given the flexibility and power of the software, this is to be expected, but more examples and use cases would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elastic Stack?
Integration with Kibana and Logstash turns it into a powerful data and trend visualisation tool with the ability to run ad hoc queries. HTTP interface and schemaless nature allow users flexibility to modify both data stored and queries run as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Elastic Stack?
Can be hard to debug even with plugins such as kopf. High hardware requirements to run efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
