We performed a comparison between Elastic Search and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Indexing and Search solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the solution is its utility and usefulness."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Enterprise Search are it's cloud-ready and we do a lot of infrastructure as code. By using ELK, we're able to deploy the solution as part of our ISC deployment."
"I like how it allows us to connect to Kafka and get this data in a document format very easily. Elasticsearch is very fast when you do text-based searches of documents. That area is very good, and the search is very good."
"There's lots of processing power. You can actually just add machines to get more performance if you need to. It's pretty flexible and very easy to add another log. It's not like 'oh, no, it's going to be so much extra data'. That's not a problem for the machine. It can handle it."
"X-Pack provides good features, like authorization and alerts."
"The initial setup is very easy for small environments."
"The AI-based attribute tagging is a valuable feature."
"The solution is valuable for log analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"This is a good security product."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The one area that can use improvement is the automapping of fields."
"Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy)."
"Improving machine learning capabilities would be beneficial."
"Something that could be improved is better integrations with Cortex and QRadar, for example."
"Elastic Search could benefit from a more user-friendly onboarding process for beginners."
"The UI point of view is not very powerful because it is dependent on Kibana."
"I have not been using the solution for many years to know exactly the improvements needed. However, they could simplify how the YML files have to be structured properly."
"Enterprise scaling of what have been essentially separate, free open source software (FOSS) products has been a challenge, but the folks at Elastic have published new add-ons (X-Pack and ECE) to help large companies grow ELK to required scales."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"There are occasional bugs."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
