Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Product Officer at ClusterPower
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 most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"All of the features on the solution are useful due to the fact that I have the full Stack, therefore I can collect and then visualize."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"It's quite stable; we have not seen it going down at all for the last three years and it's working well consistently."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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

"Continuous upgrades can be quite inconvenient. My security testing team continuously reports vulnerabilities, and we have to fix and update the versions frequently."
"The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"I want to find an automatic security system in the tool, like a SOAR solution. I am looking forward to seeing a SOAR system in the tool."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"It would be better if Elastic Security had less storage for data. My customers do not like this. Other vendors have local support in different countries, but Elastic Security doesn't. I would like to have Operational Technology (OT) security in the next release."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"The base product is open-source but if you need advanced security features then you need to pay for the subscription. Elastic Security's price is reasonable in some cases and in other cases it's not."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"The solution is free."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
