The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash.""One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault.""Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build.""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.""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."

Cons
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes.""Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean.""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.""This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it.""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 isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training.""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.""With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""Their technical support should be improved.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""The support needs improvement.""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 solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
