Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

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

"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."

More Coralogix pros

"I like the indexing of the logs."

"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."

"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."

"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."

"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."

"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."

More Elastic Security pros

Cons

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"I think Coralogix can be improved by setting up some AI type of tool inside it which can help new users."

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."

"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."

"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."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

More Coralogix cons

"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."

"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."

"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 solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."

"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."

"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."

"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."

"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."

More Elastic Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"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."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

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

"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."

"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."

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

"Elastic Security is free to use."

"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."

"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 Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
