We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast.""ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch.""The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients.""Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable.""We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward.""It's not very complicated to install Elastic.""Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted.""It is scalable."

Cons
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price.""I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified.""There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM.""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.""Technical support could respond faster.""There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program.""We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities.""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."
