We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Elastic Security 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 a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"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 scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."
"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
