"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"The process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana. Unless you are an expert, you will not be able to use it. The process should be pretty straightforward. The authentication feature is what we are looking for. We would love to have a central authentication system in the open-source edition without the need for a license or an enterprise license. If they can give at least a simple authentication system within a company. In a large organization, authentication is very essential for security because logs can contain a lot of confidential data. Therefore, an authentication feature for who accesses it should be there."
"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."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."

"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"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."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
