Comprehensive coverage, no vendor lock-in, and best customer relationship

Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable. Detection insights help us easily identify the most noisy ones, the effective ones, and what needs to be fixed to move the noisy ones to effective ones. The hunting capabilities are very good. The AI components and hunting packages give us quick insights into what needs to be looked at. The partnership has been very good. Their professional services and customer relationship have been very good. Our features and bugs have been fixed on time without a lot of follow-up, and their support has been excellent. Finally, there is a feature within Anvilogic that provides the threat landscape or our effectiveness towards the threat landscape on an ongoing basis. That is another feature that we liked.

Centralized monitoring improves security posture through rapid data processing

The processing part of Elastic Security ( /products/elastic-security-reviews ) is very interesting for us since we handle almost 7,000 to 8,000 alerts per minute. We require rapid processing speed for alerts and event data, and Elastic Security is very efficient at handling this level of data. Additionally, Elastic Security helps improve the security posture of Pakistan through centralized visibility and real-time processing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."

"Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable."

"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."

"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."

"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."

"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."

"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."

"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."

"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."

"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."

More Elastic Security pros

Cons

"The pricing is slightly edging towards being a bit much for smaller organizations."

"The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic. That is the only feature that could improve the way we do operations."

"Technical support could respond faster."

"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."

"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."

"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."

"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."

"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."

"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."

"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were an early adopter, so the pricing was definitely good. Because they do not completely replace a SIEM, their pricing is slowly edging towards being a little too much for a smaller organization like ours. It is almost on the border."

"Anvilogic's pricing has been highly competitive."

"Its price is fine. Its licensing works on a yearly basis. We have to renew the license every year. I also have a good experience with Darktrace. When we buy Darktrace, we get training free of cost, which is not there in Elastic. We have to pay extra for training. There is certainly room for improvement."

"Affordable but with additional costs"

"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."

"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."

"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."

"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."

"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."

"The solution is free."
