"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."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The user interface is very good."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"It is stable."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"It's a little bit of a learning curve to understand the logic of searching for things and trying to find what you're looking for in Elastic Security."
"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)."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"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."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The scalability is limited."
