Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."

"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."
