We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog 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."The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"I like the indexing of the logs."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"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 best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"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."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"We'd like better premium support."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."
"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."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
