Featured Reviews

SyedAli17 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool's functionality is good for overall security and incident response times."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"I like their customer support."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"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."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
 

Cons

"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"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."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"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."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"There are connectors to gather logs for Windows PCs and Linux PCs, but if we have to get the logs from Syslog then we have to do it manually, and this should be automated."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"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."
"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for 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."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
"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."
