We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product has huge integration varieties available."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"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."
"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."
