Centralized monitoring improves security posture through rapid data processing
The processing part of Elastic Security 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.
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"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."
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
 

Cons

"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."
"Elastic Security consumes a lot of resources, requiring a substantial deployment setup."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"I want to find an automatic security system in the tool, like a SOAR solution. I am looking forward to seeing a SOAR system in the tool."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"The base product is open-source but if you need advanced security features then you need to pay for the subscription. Elastic Security's price is reasonable in some cases and in other cases it's not."
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"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."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"The solution is free."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
