Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."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 solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"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's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer works for specific conditions, like when someone needs to monitor a specific log or do specific actions."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"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."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
