Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's open-source and free to use."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"We'd like better premium support."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"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 price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
