Centralized monitoring improves security posture through rapid data processing
The processing part of Elastic Security 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.

Pros

"Elastic Security is applied within my cyber defense strategy by utilizing many modules such as EDR, GenAI, SOAR module and combines with the SIEM module."
"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 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."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."

Cons

"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."

"Installation is a little bit overwhelming, so improvements on the installation site could make it easier."
"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."
"Elastic Security consumes a lot of resources, requiring a substantial deployment setup."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"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."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"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."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."

"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"The price could be better."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
