Balamurali P - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced query capabilities enhance monitoring effectiveness
Elastic Stack should be more simplified with ready-to-use widgets. Also, incorporating AI capabilities is essential as monitoring and observability tools are now adding AI features. Ideally, it should evolve into a full-stack observability tool, similar to AppDynamics or DynaTrace, which offers a solution that includes ISP provider, API monitoring, and infrastructure monitoring.
AshishDubey - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very scalable solution...I didn't face any problem with this scalability part of the solution since we only have a few pieces of equipment in our company."
"I think the ecosystem is well supported, and for logs, it was faster compared to our previous previous log management."
"The tool's most powerful aspect is its search engine capability. It's a highly effective and powerful solution for searching. We use it in professional and student projects at universities, and it delivers promising results."
"We can group a lot of alarms into one automation alarm supervision. The alarm supervision allows us to put the alarm under the same. It's quite helpful for us. We used that to suppress our alarms. Elastic already provides the agent. It is easy to integrate Elastic Stack with other devices and vendors."
"The detection rules in Elastic Stack are the most valuable feature. The search capabilities are excellent and fast. As we collect logs from workstations and devices, the detection rules run on top of the logs and detect any suspicious activity, raising alerts accordingly. Integration with Elastic Stack depends on the specific integration. Elastic provides some bridging integrations that make it easy, but require custom integration. Most integrations are simple, but customization can be challenging because we need to do some parsing. There's something called Elastic Common Schema, and we need to parse the source logs to match this schema, which can be a bit challenging."
"I have experienced a return on investment from the use of the solution."
"Prior to the latest updates, data lake management was a standout feature. The hybrid capability for on-premise and cloud integration was also crucial. Now, with Elastic Defense, the agent simplifies security monitoring, making it a key asset."
"The biggest strength of Elastic Stack is its brilliant archiving capabilities."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"The search feature within AXON is pretty robust. It's actually very fast in comparison to that in the previous platform. It's going to really help with investigations when they get rules put into the system."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
 

Cons

"Elastic Stack's search capabilities can be challenging, especially when searching for precise data from past years, such as two or ten years ago. Its indexing performance for exact data retrieval may decrease as the data volume grows. Therefore, I believe there is room for improvement in the product's search functionality. It needs to improve its pricing as well."
"When people try to move the data from another source to Elastic Stack for visualization, they face challenges when connecting to Elastic Stack from such different sources."
"Elastic Stack should work on their dashboards and integration process."
"There could be better documentation."
"Elastic Stack should be more simplified with ready-to-use widgets."
"Support could be improved. The error code is not helpful. We have to ask for it or pass it on to community forums."
"The main issue related to Elastic Stack is in the area of its licensing."
"Improvements are needed in the solution in areas like SOAR and TIP, where there are certain shortcomings."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon. Faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on the specifics, but generally, Elastic is economical for certain use cases."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I used the open-source version of Elastic Stack, because of which I did not have to pay anything."
"If I compare Elastic Stack to the other products in the market, I would say that the tool is available at a competitive price."
"We are using the open-source community version of the product."
"Ultimately, the pricing depends upon the capacity planning that the enterprise architect does."
"I know that there are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product...The pricing of LogRhythm Axon falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
