    We can use this Elastic Observability in our business problems such as Creating internal/operational efficiencies issues, customer relations/service, and business process outcomes issues. This product has a lot of features for the above problems. But this product may be having some issues when charting purposes. But it can adjust for that purpose.

    It is great for monitoring internet connections.
    The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
    There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

    Splunk is a very good product but the licensing costs are high; we utilise the best of both worlds by using both products for slightly different purposes. We put the voluminous data with simple use cases in Elastic where it doesn't cost too much and can be searched quickly while putting the less voluminous data with more complex use cases in Splunk so we can take advantage of Splunk's very comprehensive but often much slower SPL search query language

    Panopta management from the cloud (remote panel).
    Easy work on installation.
    To monitor servers, it is enough for the server to have contact only with the Internet.

    Multiple channels for sending notifications.
