Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer

Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's simple and easy to use."
"Based on my experience, it's quite easy and manageable with small scale implementations, and the time to market is quite fast."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"This solution helps us because we can find all of the logs in one place."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"I like the indexing of the logs."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
 

Cons

"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"The solution's basic setup takes time, and a lot of effort is required from the beginning to make it actually work."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"Elastic sometimes does not correctly identify threats or anomalies. It might not classify an issue as malicious or critical accurately."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"Continuous upgrades can be quite inconvenient. My security testing team continuously reports vulnerabilities, and we have to fix and update the versions frequently."
"Because of the notification issue we moved to Logentries, as it provides a simple way to get notification whenever a server encounters an error or something unexpected happens (which we have defined using Regex)."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"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."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
