"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution needs to be more reactive to investigations. We need to be able to detect and prevent any attacks before it can damage our infrastructure. Currently, this solution doesn't offer that."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"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."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"Technical support should be improved."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
