We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Mezmo 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."It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
