Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

Infraon IMS and Elastic Observability compete in IT infrastructure management and application performance monitoring. Elastic Observability offers superior analytical capabilities, making it more appealing for users seeking comprehensive data insights, despite its higher cost.

Features: Infraon IMS provides customizable, real-time monitoring with centralized dashboards and integrated features. It allows for efficient network resource management with event visualization and drill-down capabilities. Elastic Observability offers extensive logging and performance monitoring using Kibana and various plugins. The product integrates well with existing systems and offers strong search functionality.

Room for Improvement: Infraon IMS could enhance its reporting features and integration with helpdesk systems, along with an improved GUI. Adding predictive analytics and AI-based features would strengthen its offering. Elastic Observability's APM needs better visualization and more comprehensive monitoring features. The manual configurations and non-standard metrics visualization need simplification, along with improved machine learning capabilities to ease the learning curve.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Infraon IMS primarily offers on-premises deployment with responsive support, though faster response times would be beneficial. Elastic Observability supports hybrid and cloud environments, offering deployment flexibility. Technical support relies more on its extensive documentation than direct assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Infraon IMS offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing and proven time-saving benefits, resulting in positive ROI. Elastic Observability, though more expensive, provides valuable features at variable costs based on usage and volume. Despite its affordability compared to competitors like Dynatrace, pricing adjustments could better serve small businesses.

Real-time dashboards and visual insights have streamlined issue analysis and monitoring

After careful consideration about areas for improvement in Elastic Observability, aspects such as pricing, customization, implementation, and scalability could be improved. As a user of the system, I know what it costs but am not directly involved in cost-benefit evaluations or maintenance, which is handled by another team. I develop the visual representation of the data and frankly, I don't see major gaps in my application or anything I would really miss; I appreciate the fast pace of the developments that have occurred in the last couple of years. Regarding room for improvement in Elastic Observability, I would have preferred built-in tools to manage the indexes on deployment for better visual representation, as the initial feedback regarding system performance and data storage was fairly primitive and lacking.

Good statistical reporting, provides alerts via email, helpful support

The reporting capabilities are good. We have to manually configure reports based on what data we require. For example, it can show the downtime for uptime for a device. Once we configure the profile for each report, we can download it. We use Infraon to automatically trigger processes to help resolve issues when they are detected. For example, it will automatically raise a ticket and send an email to our ISP when it detects that a link is down. When a process is triggered automatically, we run one of the pre-configured scripts. We have not created any of the scripts ourselves but rather, only use the ones that are provided. These scripts are important because we use them for generating reports and emailing alerts, which are also used for auditing purposes. For example, our IT department has been improved because Infraon automatically creates reports that show our site uptime and downtime. We can see which site has more bandwidth utilization, link utilization, and link problems. It will show us what other devices are in the environment, which ones we need to replace, and how many sessions are being created. This solution assists us with our billing because we have many critical locations, and these need to have one hundred percent uptime, every month of the year. We generate reports monthly, quarterly, and yearly, which we then submit to management to cite the total uptime. Based on this, the billing is done. With respect to the learning curve, this tool is easy to learn because there is a lot of training material included. I suggest that the entire team learn to use it, rather than just one person, because it will make the tool more effective for the organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The customizable dashboards in Elastic Observability allow us to group relevant data to specific aspects of our solution, giving us around 20 interlinked dashboards which provide an overview, and if one aspect shows weird behavior, we can focus on that specific aspect of our software with a dedicated dashboard."

"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."

"All the features that we use, such as monitoring, dashboarding, reporting, the possibility of alerting, and the way we index the data, are important."

"The solution allows us to track performance via metrics and we're able to see where latency is happening."

"I think Elastic Observability is already in very good shape."

"It is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten based on my interaction with it."

"It is scalable and supports multitenancy, which is beneficial for MSPs."

"In addition to the fact that we are more proactive in the detection of incident before they occur, we can on one click see the request path from the customer to the backend."

More Elastic Observability pros

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product."

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."

"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."

"With Infraon, everything is already built-in so you are able to plug-and-play with the system."

"Being an engineering product, the customization is easy for us compared to SolarWinds and ManageEngine."

"We have definitely seen ROI since we first implemented Infraon, three years ago, as it has given us clarity and helped us with compliance during audits."

"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."

More Infraon IMS pros

Cons

"There could be more low-code features included in the product."

"I would have preferred built-in tools to manage the indexes on deployment for better visual representation, as the initial feedback regarding system performance and data storage was fairly primitive and lacking."

"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."

"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."

"Elastic support really struggles in complex situations to resolve issues."

"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."

"It lacked some capabilities when handling on-prem devices, like network observability, package flow analysis, and device performance data on the infrastructure side."

"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."

More Elastic Observability cons

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."

"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."

More Infraon IMS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Elastic Observability's pricing could be better for small-scale users."

"We have been using the open-source version."

"The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."

"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."

"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."

"The product is not that cheap."

"The product’s pricing needs improvement."

"Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."

More Elastic Observability pricing and cost advice

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
