Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The visualization is very good."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"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 process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana. Unless you are an expert, you will not be able to use it. The process should be pretty straightforward. The authentication feature is what we are looking for. We would love to have a central authentication system in the open-source edition without the need for a license or an enterprise license. If they can give at least a simple authentication system within a company. In a large organization, authentication is very essential for security because logs can contain a lot of confidential data. Therefore, an authentication feature for who accesses it should be there."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
