Elastic Stack Reviews

Most users leverage Elastic for SIEM and SOC. It's also beneficial for integration with other solutions like CloudStrike and Endpoint Security. Elastic is especially useful for managing data lakes and enhancing security.

Prior to the latest updates, data lake management was a standout feature. The hybrid capability for on-premise and cloud integration was also crucial. Now, with Elastic Defense, the agent simplifies security monitoring, making it a key asset.

It lacks a clear NDR (Network Detection and Response) feature. If Elastic could enhance this aspect, it would significantly boost its capabilities.

The initial setup is straightforward. One person is enough to maintain the solution.

I think they need to evaluate their use cases and see the pros and cons of the solution. If they fit, they should schedule a meeting with them. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
