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.
Harshal Pachpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency
ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"I like their customer support."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
 

Cons

"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"Continuous upgrades can be quite inconvenient. My security testing team continuously reports vulnerabilities, and we have to fix and update the versions frequently."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"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."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The tool is expensive."
