Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"What customers found most valuable in Elastic Security feature-wise is the search capability, in particular, the way of writing the search query and the speed of searching for results."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"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."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"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."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
