Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

Centralized monitoring improves security posture through rapid data processing
The processing part of Elastic Security ( /products/elastic-security-reviews ) is very interesting for us since we handle almost 7,000 to 8,000 alerts per minute. We require rapid processing speed for alerts and event data, and Elastic Security is very efficient at handling this level of data. Additionally, Elastic Security helps improve the security posture of Pakistan through centralized visibility and real-time processing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"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."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"The visualization is very good."
"Elastic Security helps improve the security posture of Pakistan through centralized visibility and real-time processing."
"What customers found most valuable in Elastic Security feature-wise is the search capability, in particular, the way of writing the search query and the speed of searching for results."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"We'd like better premium support."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"The base product is open-source but if you need advanced security features then you need to pay for the subscription. Elastic Security's price is reasonable in some cases and in other cases it's not."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"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."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
