Featured Reviews

Laurentiu Popescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Lead at Orange
Has improved threat detection with deep log analysis and streamlined investigation workflows
The most useful features I find in Elastic Security are the forensic ones that allow us to carry deeper analysis into the logs for in-depth investigations, and the dashboards, with the reporting dashboard being quite user-friendly. Elastic Security is quite good at identifying threats, as it is part of the deep investigation tool that I mentioned before. Unless we need to look further into a certain log, we can carry out a deeper analysis and forensics on those particular logs. I can assess the impact of Elastic Security's real-time data analysis on our threat response efficiency as working pretty good. We are looking for real-time analysis because we have a continuous inflow of logs from different sources: from our cloud, from Active Directory, from our network. So it works pretty well.

Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"Elastic Security actually has a very good cost-benefit ratio compared to other vendors in the market."
"It is scalable."
"It's quite stable; we have not seen it going down at all for the last three years and it's working well consistently."
"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."
"In comparison with other similar solutions in the market, customers go with Elastic Security because of its scalability and its good performance."
"This is one of the best open-source log management and log analyzer tools in the world."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The initial configuration and setup are complicated and not straightforward."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"I think maybe on the last exercise part, I think the index rotation can be improved. It's something that they need to work on."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"Elastic sometimes does not correctly identify threats or anomalies. It might not classify an issue as malicious or critical accurately."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"The solution should generate an automatic product that integrates with ELK Stack to use artificial intelligence."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"The pricing is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."
"Its price is fine. Its licensing works on a yearly basis. We have to renew the license every year. I also have a good experience with Darktrace. When we buy Darktrace, we get training free of cost, which is not there in Elastic. We have to pay extra for training. There is certainly room for improvement."
"The price is reasonable. It probably costs the same as ArcSight and LogRhythm SIEM. FortiSIEM might cost less than Elastic Security. There are no hidden or additional costs."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
