Elastic is built for relevance at scale, easily able to support small businesses, the largest multinationals, and everything in between.
Amazon CloudWatch is great and very useful. It provides great resources and essential learning skills.
CloudWatch might be overwhelming at first and hard to configure.
My overall experience is very good with AmazonCloudwatch i will recommend everyone to use it and once we use it we cant stop using it because of its rich set of features.
Accessing and searching log data can get more difficult as you start to have more log data and when logging data from multiple AWS resources if you don't use Log Insights.
I am very pleased with the capabilities of AWS cloudwatch and would highly recommend it to all AWS customers.
I only have two slight complaints with Cloudwatch.
Overall experience with cloud watch was great is good I would recommend every who uses AWS should learn cloud watch.
This can be a limitation if you have a hybrid infrastructure or use third-party services.
I would say very very powerful. I love the real-time data processing that elastic produce to view the dashboard is so powerful and flexible.
ELK sovles this problem efficiently. During troubleshooting, it is biggest pain to open servers.
It's a great tool for managing application and server logs at large scale. Combined with Kibana as part of the ELK stack it is very powerful and extremely useful.
Almost everything is indexed by default which is a pain and causes overhead.
Elasticsearch is wonderful free software. It is fast, scalable and easy to use.
The only thing i dislike is the learning curve. It to be able to use the full service, it is a bit of a learning curve.
We really enjoy using Elasticsearch (ELK Stack) in our Kubernetes environment. The ease of deployment is unmatchable compared to other solutions.
While this is probably not unexpected due to Amazon's predatory behavior when it comes to OSS and AWS, it doesn't help customers and the community to have two different projects.
