Naveenkumar Lakshman - PeerSpot reviewer
Presales Engineer at Crayon AS
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

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"Elastic Security helps improve the security posture of Pakistan through centralized visibility and real-time processing."
"The visualization is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
 

Cons

"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"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's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"I think Coralogix can be improved by setting up some AI type of tool inside it which can help new users."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"The initial configuration and setup are complicated and not straightforward."
"We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed. We moved to Fluentd making our stack from ELK to EFK."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
 

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."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
"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."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
