We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Nagios Log Server 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."ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"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."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"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."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server."
"A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal."
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."
"It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient."
"The product is scalable."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"It would be better if Elastic Security had less storage for data. My customers do not like this. Other vendors have local support in different countries, but Elastic Security doesn't. I would like to have Operational Technology (OT) security in the next release."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"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."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
"The support could be better."
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
"The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth."
