Featured Reviews

SyedAli17 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"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."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"Elastic Security makes data communication easier."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert offers centralized monitoring where we can monitor everything from a single point. I also like its security and network traffic features."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"The pricing is decent."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
 

Cons

"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"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 solution needs to be more reactive to investigations. We need to be able to detect and prevent any attacks before it can damage our infrastructure. Currently, this solution doesn't offer that."
"Elastic Security consumes a lot of resources, requiring a substantial deployment setup."
"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."
"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."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"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."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"I would like better integration with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"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."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"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."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
