Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Product Officer at ClusterPower
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.
Mohan Janarthanan - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions
AI-driven monitoring has improved real-time threat detection but still needs better automation
I could see some workflows, but I am unable to do automated workflows. For example, some repetitive jobs or repetitive tasks I am doing, but I am trying to have less manual intervention on the front. I am raising some issues that should be resolvable. The SentinelOne team has told me that this can be resolved within a couple of months, but they are saying that it is in future for enhancement and it may take some time. So far, the numbers are great. Regarding disadvantages or areas for improvement, I could say that 35 percent of my manual effort can be detected since I implemented it very recently. I could be able to say my current data talks about only 35 percent, and it may improve further, as I am expecting. But I can only comment based on my alerts and events. The adoption rate will be less compared to other products, as this can be a time-taken process because all my data needs to be offloaded and the system needs to understand my existing alerts, logs, and other things. This will take some more time, probably another month. Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"You just deploy and start using, and it's quite stable and hasn't broken down on us at all."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM's AI-powered analytics does affect our SOC's ability to reduce false positives; that is one of the biggest advantages because the manpower that I have is limited."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
 

Cons

"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"I do not have any specific recommendations for improvements in Elastic Security, but I feel that the AI module should get more mature."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
"In AI SIEM, the areas that have room for improvement are the parsers for third-party integrated data or for third-party data sources that are not native integrations, which could be made a bit easier."
"Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"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 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."
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"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."
"The solution is free."
"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
