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.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"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."
"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."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"The visualization is very good."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"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."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"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."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"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 solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
