Provides good anomaly detection and connectivity reporting
We previously used Splunk but switched to Elastic Security because Splunk was more expensive. Feature-wise, both tools are pretty much the same. They have almost the same functions. Elastic Security has a much better AI assistant that allows you to ask questions like a normal person. With Elastic Security, I can also predict the price and how much it will cost. Splunks's pricing depends on how much data we use and the different add-ons I have to add. The pricing is much better with Elastic Security.
Chris Reece - PeerSpot reviewer
A security solution to manage devices with patching and remediation feature
The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"The product has good stability."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
 

Cons

"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"In terms of what could be improved with Elastic, in some use cases, especially on the advanced level, they are not ready made, so you'll have to write some scripts."
"The initial configuration and setup are complicated and not straightforward."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"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."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."
"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost of Elastic Security is based on the daily ingestion rate. I can't recall the exact figure, but for 10GB of log action daily, it would cost around $20,000."
"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
"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."
"When compared to other products, the price is average or on the low side."
"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."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"The solution is free."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"The product is expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."
"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."
"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
