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."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It can handle millions of loads at a time, and you can always use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for and detect errors in every log message you are searching for, basically."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"It is scalable."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"It is stable."
"The web control and the application control are two good features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"Provides good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"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."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"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."
"We'd like better premium support."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."
"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"The product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Sophos does not currently inform users of potential compatability issues with Windows updates."
"The management console need improvement."
