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

"It's simple and easy to use."
"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."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"Elastic Security offers advanced features such as machine learning and integration with ChatGPT."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"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."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"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."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affordable but with additional costs"
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"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."
