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."Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"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."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"It can handle millions of loads at a time, and you can always use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for and detect errors in every log message you are searching for, basically."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"In terms of what could be improved with Elastic, in some use cases, especially on the advanced level, they are not ready made, so you'll have to write some scripts."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"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."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Notifications are lacking."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
