Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

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

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 Security makes data communication easier."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"Elastic Security is applied within my cyber defense strategy by utilizing many modules such as EDR, GenAI, SOAR module and combines with the SIEM module."
"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."
 

Cons

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"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."
"The solution's basic setup takes time, and a lot of effort is required from the beginning to make it actually work."
"There are connectors to gather logs for Windows PCs and Linux PCs, but if we have to get the logs from Syslog then we have to do it manually, and this should be automated."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"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."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"The pricing is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."
