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
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"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."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"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."
"We can scale the solution."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
 

Cons

"Elastic sometimes does not correctly identify threats or anomalies. It might not classify an issue as malicious or critical accurately."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should generate an automatic product that integrates with ELK Stack to use artificial intelligence."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"Could include some additional protection."
"The solution is expensive."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"It consumes many system resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"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 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 price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
