We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Malwarebytes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"It is a stable solution."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side."
"It's a little bit of a learning curve to understand the logic of searching for things and trying to find what you're looking for in Elastic Security."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
