Offers robust out-of-the-box integrations and streamlines logging processes effortlessly
There are improvements needed for Elastic Stack. It is mostly based on Lucene, and the heart of Elastic Stack is Lucene, which has some limitations. Anything built on top of Lucene often feels an add-on, and that includes vector databases. Elastic Stack can store vector embeddings as well and perform AI and machine learning tasks out of the box without excessive configuration. The main improvements involve increasing speed and compression capabilities; I have seen databases that claim to achieve significantly better compression. While Elastic Stack can manage vast amounts of data, if the mapping is not specified correctly, the indexing time can be slow, especially with many events per second. Improper mapping usually means that every document received gets indexed for all fields, which is not desired. Elastic consultants typically optimize this, but out of the box, as data volume increases, scaling becomes necessary. They are working on these improvements in new versions.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The centralized logging capabilities of Elastic Stack have helped me streamline my logging processes significantly because there are many open-source tools available, such as Filebeat and Logstash, to collect the logs."
"The scripting model in Elastic Stack allows me to query logs and then put the data into Grafana."
"The solution's technical support is good...Elastic Stack offers good value for value for money based on the product's features and what they offer."
"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 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 think the ecosystem is well supported, and for logs, it was faster compared to our previous previous log management."
"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 have experienced a return on investment from the use of the solution."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool's pricing can be improved."
"Elastic Stack should be more simplified with ready-to-use widgets."
"Improvements are needed in the solution in areas like SOAR and TIP, where there are certain shortcomings."
"Agent deployment is a little tough in the on-premise version."
"The solution is expensive, particularly the training and certification. If customers want to increase their use of Elastic Stack, they should consider reducing the cost of certification and training."
"AI-enablement would be a big improvement in Elastic Stack...If there is room for an ML model in Elastic Stack, then it would be good."
"There could be better documentation."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"We are using the open-source community version of the product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It depends on the specifics, but generally, Elastic is economical for certain use cases."
"Ultimately, the pricing depends upon the capacity planning that the enterprise architect does."
"If I compare Elastic Stack to the other products in the market, I would say that the tool is available at a competitive price."
"The product is expensive."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
