Elastic Security Scalability
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. Elastic Security was able to expand all the data sources that we had available in our company.
There are no issues with scalability. It can extend well.
We have a separate team that deals with the solution directly.
We plan to migrate to a new solution and do not intend to extend usage.

Elastic Security's scalability is pretty easy. Since it's in the cloud, you have to watch your throughput to ensure you're staying within what you've bought. That being said, they have had to build scripts to understand that throughput because there is no easy way to see how much data you're actually pushing to the cloud. If you go over your cap, they'll bite you in the bill, and you wouldn't even know it.

It is highly scalable. We at least have two dozen people who are using it. Some people may be using only a part of it, and some may be fully involved in it.
We have plans to increase its usage. We are ready with a running full-fledged server, and we can even handle data for potential customers. We are definitely planning to widen its usage.

We don't have any scalability problems as of now. We have less than 2,000 devices.
It is an extremely scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Whether the product suits small, medium, or enterprise-sized businesses is something that would depend on how you quantify your risks. Elastic Security is an ideal solution for anybody and everybody because it offers a free version of the solution. Small or medium businesses can use the free version of the tool. The solution has very comprehensive capabilities in the free version itself. Enterprises, large corporations, and government organizations can use the tool's paid version because it supports a lot of features from an analytical perspective. The free version doesn't have many analytical features in it. People who want to have a cybersecurity solution in their environment, which may not be specifically Elastic Security, should know the roadmap and the vision, along with a plan on what they want and how they want to go about with the product they want in their company to see where they want to end up in their cybersecurity journey. Your investments will make a lot of sense if you have a clear vision in mind.
Elastic Security is not an ideal product if you are trying to do something very simple or basic with some check mark activities or an audit to show someone that there is some technology used in the company.
We can easily scale up, according to our needs. It's easy to expand.
I'd rate the overall ability to scale up eight out of ten.

The solution is scalable. So you're able to extend it and grow it. For example, you're able to put it in a cluster, so it is quite scalable.

Elastic SIEM is definitely stable. We have just started working on it, so we have no more than perhaps 100 users at this point. At the same time, we are confident that it can be scaled up to any extent.

I have no reason to believe this solution wouldn't scale well if a company needed it to. I see no limitations there.
That said, that's a speculative area for us right now. We haven't attempted to scale the product ourselves.
Obviously, Elasticsearch has to do all of its indexing upfront and that might be a scaling concern whereas something like Devo with its just-in-time indexing is pretty darned interesting.
On our end, mostly development staff and operations staff are using it right now. For our organization, everything is going to increase. We're just starting to ramp up usage now.

The solution is scalable. But again, it depends on the deployment. If you're deploying it in an auto-scaling infrastructure, it will automatically scale as per the demand. For example, if it's a service on AWS, they provide Elasticsearch but call it OpenSearch. If you use that, it will automatically scale as per the demand, and you will only be paying for the resources you use. But if you are deploying it on-prem, it's only as scalable as the infrastructure.
Three of my customers are using the solution currently.

For what we use it for, scalability has been great. Our environments tend to be smaller. We're only talking about 200 to 1,000 systems. Therefore, I don't know that I could speak to a real large scale since that's not our implementation level.
We are kind of in an interesting use case as we're not actually using it on a day-to-day basis. We are a production house, and we shift suites out to customers to use. As far as what the user feedback is on a regular basis, we don't really see a ton of that unless we kind of go out and hunt for it.

In terms of scalability, you just need to keep increasing your endpoint licenses. That's the only thing. It's as easy as getting a new license updated and then you can start deploying it to the new endpoints. Right now, we have around 500 end users. We have a buffer of 1,000, so we can add about 400 more endpoints, so we are ready to grow if we need to. I don't know if we'll extend beyond that.

For now, we haven't had any problems. I'm just a user. I'm not the one responsible for the total solution. I use Kibana for the dashboard to detect any errors in our servers.
But for the future, perhaps we will need to scale our solution because we deploy new components and we implement new servers on Azure.

We haven't really done any scaling. We only have had an environment with a small cluster on-premises and we can't really test it for scalability. We have no more than four servers for the platform and never really needed to expand anything.
The solution may be used by around 1,000 people in our organization.
This solution is scalable.
We have approximately two hundred users and we do not plan to increase usage at this time.

In terms of assessing its scalability, we have not gone with a very huge amount of data yet so it is early to comment on that. We started with three node architecture and I think slowly we'll scale up.
It is suitable for small to large businesses. We have started small but we plan to scale it up.
Currently, we are using the solution between 16 and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for live monitoring.

Scaling is not a problem. Most of these products are cloud-native so we were able to scale it easily.
We are to implement it for smaller, medium, and bigger clients. I have done a few implementations with small and medium businesses and I've done a couple on the bigger side with bigger clients and we don't see much of a difference, but one of them can move down the fabric. With smaller and medium-sized businesses there is only one point of contact whereas with larger businesses there is a whole team that gets involved.
