"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
