Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The visualization is very good.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster.""It's very customizable, which is quite helpful.""I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong.""It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast.""I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash.""The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."

"The reports that you can run are really nice.""You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful.""The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well.""It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications.""It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy.""The Sharecon feature is the most valuable.""ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy.""We haven't had any stability issues."

Cons
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities.""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.""The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it.""There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits.""Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use.""Their visuals and graphs need to be better.""We'd like better premium support.""The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk.""Their technical support should be improved.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot.""It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well.""On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits.""The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
