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.

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.

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."
"I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"It can handle millions of loads at a time, and you can always use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for and detect errors in every log message you are searching for, basically."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."

Cons

"ArcSight Security Orchestration Automation Response is taking an edge lesser than the competition."
"I'm not satisfied with technical support because whenever you raise a case, it goes to some random support person who asks questions about the architecture."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"The signature security needs improvement."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux 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."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
