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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"It is scalable."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"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 solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"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."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"It's a little bit of a learning curve to understand the logic of searching for things and trying to find what you're looking for in Elastic Security."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"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."
"Continuous upgrades can be quite inconvenient. My security testing team continuously reports vulnerabilities, and we have to fix and update the versions frequently."
"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."
"The initial configuration and setup are complicated and not straightforward."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affordable but with additional costs"
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"The licensing cost of Elastic Security is based on the daily ingestion rate. I can't recall the exact figure, but for 10GB of log action daily, it would cost around $20,000."
"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 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."
