Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"Elastic Security is applied within my cyber defense strategy by utilizing many modules such as EDR, GenAI, SOAR module and combines with the SIEM module."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"I would say that, on average, a good ROI can be seen within one and a half to two years after deploying Elastic Security."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"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."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"The process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"The pricing is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"Its price is fine. Its licensing works on a yearly basis. We have to renew the license every year. I also have a good experience with Darktrace. When we buy Darktrace, we get training free of cost, which is not there in Elastic. We have to pay extra for training. There is certainly room for improvement."
"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."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
