We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Malwarebytes 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 simple and easy to use."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"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."
"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."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
