Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

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.

Detects cyber threats early and improves incident response with AI-driven insights
The main focus for using ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is advanced threat prediction and data protection of the organization, which has a great response to threat detection. If there is a cyber security attack, it helps significantly. The platform is exceptionally efficient and provides a very good response whenever required. The advanced threat detection helps identify suspicious activity, and whenever there is a cyber attack, it focuses on the process, analyzes the cyber security attacks on time, and provides advance warning if there is a problem. The artificial intelligence used is something relied upon and is truly excellent. Key features of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) include a Unified Threat Library that centralizes the threat intelligence data sources and normalizes the scoring data to ensure that it is ready for action. It also provides AI-powered analytics that uses AI-driven tools like CAL and ATT&CK analysis to provide insights and contextualize the threats and behaviors. The Unified Library helps unify the data, enables advanced detection, and provides centralized analysis of the threat library, connecting to ongoing or incoming threats. It helps with strategic, tactical, operational, and technical threat intelligence, with each type providing a different insight into the threat landscape, contributing to a well-rounded cyber security strategy. It has helped create a more secure environment, improving scalability and work efficiency by 38.5%. It has also helped defend against multiple cyber attacks, making it a truly beneficial solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"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."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is a robust platform that helps with advanced AI-driven intelligence, and it assists whenever there is a problem, serving as a single-stop solution."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"I like their customer support."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing response times and improving detection accuracy by ensuring only high-confidence, context-rich indicators are pushed to security controls."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"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."
"I want to find an automatic security system in the tool, like a SOAR solution. I am looking forward to seeing a SOAR system in the tool."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be better in terms of cost, as the basic needs of the software are emphasized."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by simplifying the user interface to better fit day-to-day analyst workflow and reducing the complexity of configuring playbook and score logic."
"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

Information not available
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"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."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"The tool is expensive."
"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 price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
