"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."

"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana. Unless you are an expert, you will not be able to use it. The process should be pretty straightforward. The authentication feature is what we are looking for. We would love to have a central authentication system in the open-source edition without the need for a license or an enterprise license. If they can give at least a simple authentication system within a company. In a large organization, authentication is very essential for security because logs can contain a lot of confidential data. Therefore, an authentication feature for who accesses it should be there."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"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."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"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."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"We experience a lot of false positives."
