Pros
"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.""Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere.""The visualization is very good.""The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers.""The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment.""The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash.""I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users.""The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."

Cons
"Technical support could respond faster.""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.""Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation.""Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean.""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.""Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good.""With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM.""We'd like better premium support."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
