Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for.""The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards.""It is scalable.""The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time.""Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build.""It's not very complicated to install Elastic."

More Elastic Security Pros →

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.""Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role).""The Webroot cloud console is very powerful.""It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses.""It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources.""We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily.""Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all.""The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

Cons
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow.""Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it.""I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified.""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.""The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with.""Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution.""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.""The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously.""Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention.""They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks.""One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot.""It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it.""The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""Reporting system could be improved.""The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

  • "Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
  • More Elastic Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
  • "Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
  • "We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
  • "Work on a price tier plan."

  • "I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
  • "The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
  • "The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
