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 most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"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."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"It would be better if Elastic Security had less storage for data. My customers do not like this. Other vendors have local support in different countries, but Elastic Security doesn't. I would like to have Operational Technology (OT) security in the next release."
"The process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana. Unless you are an expert, you will not be able to use it. The process should be pretty straightforward. The authentication feature is what we are looking for. We would love to have a central authentication system in the open-source edition without the need for a license or an enterprise license. If they can give at least a simple authentication system within a company. In a large organization, authentication is very essential for security because logs can contain a lot of confidential data. Therefore, an authentication feature for who accesses it should be there."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
