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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"Elastic Security is cost-effective compared to Defender and CrowdStrike."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
 

Cons

"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"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."
"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."
"The initial configuration and setup are complicated and not straightforward."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
