Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."The solution's most valuable aspect is that it can be fully integrated with Microsoft solutions and it doesn't impact the productivity order."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"It is scalable."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"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."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
