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

"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"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."
"In comparison with other similar solutions in the market, customers go with Elastic Security because of its scalability and its good performance."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"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 setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"We find that solutions such as Dynatrace and Datadog offer much more functionality, perhaps due to the fact that they are more mature."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"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 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."
"The solution is free."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
