Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."It's very stable and reliable."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"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."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"The customers who have the use case of monitoring the file server and want to know the user's activity. It's the Power Admin's requirement."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10."
"The setup takes half an hour. It will be a little complex."
