We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Malwarebytes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"I like the indexing of the logs."
"It can handle millions of loads at a time, and you can always use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for and detect errors in every log message you are searching for, basically."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"In terms of what could be improved with Elastic, in some use cases, especially on the advanced level, they are not ready made, so you'll have to write some scripts."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
