We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform 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."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."
"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."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The tool protects everything."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"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."
"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."
"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."
"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."
"There are connectors to gather logs for Windows PCs and Linux PCs, but if we have to get the logs from Syslog then we have to do it manually, and this should be automated."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"The management of the solution isn't as clear as it could be. They could adjust that to make it a better product."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
