Gaurav Ranade - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Rah Infotech Pvt Ltd
Supports automation and orchestration workflows but has lost market traction recently
The data correlation feature in ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response helps to improve incident response times, but I believe that there are many other things that need to be done. The competition is coming up with new jargons and new features that need to be taken into account. I believe that ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response also has to change the user experience slightly to a phase-based view, which seems to be slightly dull, and many times customers or partners have reported this back. The UI could be slightly better and that is an area for improvement. ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response is taking an edge lesser than the competition. When I look at that, there is Splunk, Exabeam, Gurucul, Securonix, and others that are taking quite a leverage in the market. Three or four years ago, the market ratio was about 40 to 45% captured by ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response, but now it has been reduced to 10 to 12%. As much as the competition needs to be evaluated on the functionality perspective, I think ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response is losing its ground, so it needs to buckle up.

Cyber Security Lead at Orange
Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advanced analytics in ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response helps to improve threat detection accuracy, which is an added advantage with the advanced analytics that ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response platform provides, which many times the competition cannot do."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"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."
"It's quite stable; we have not seen it going down at all for the last three years and it's working well consistently."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"This is one of the best open-source log management and log analyzer tools in the world."
"Its flexibility is most valuable; we can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything, and if we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways, which makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"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."
 

Cons

"ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response is taking an edge lesser than the competition."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"I think maybe on the last exercise part, I think the index rotation can be improved. It's something that they need to work on."
"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."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"We'd like better premium support."
"Continuous upgrades can be quite inconvenient. My security testing team continuously reports vulnerabilities, and we have to fix and update the versions frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"The price is reasonable. It probably costs the same as ArcSight and LogRhythm SIEM. FortiSIEM might cost less than Elastic Security. There are no hidden or additional costs."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"The licensing cost of Elastic Security is based on the daily ingestion rate. I can't recall the exact figure, but for 10GB of log action daily, it would cost around $20,000."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
