Featured Reviews

Gajewski Marek - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Kiarash Heydari - PeerSpot reviewer
Solid security and performance; overall a useful tool
My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives. This service is painful for network administrators. I would like for this solution to better integrate with other solutions, especially with our network solution. I would also like for the support response time to be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"It is scalable."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"Elastic Security makes data communication easier."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"The pricing is decent."
"It's scalable enough for us."
 

Cons

"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."
"We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"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."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"The process of designing dashboards is a little cumbersome in Kibana. Unless you are an expert, you will not be able to use it. The process should be pretty straightforward. The authentication feature is what we are looking for. We would love to have a central authentication system in the open-source edition without the need for a license or an enterprise license. If they can give at least a simple authentication system within a company. In a large organization, authentication is very essential for security because logs can contain a lot of confidential data. Therefore, an authentication feature for who accesses it should be there."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"The solution is expensive."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"Installing Kaspersky is complex. It requires more work from system admins and takes almost one week to deploy, including integration and mapping with other solutions. You also have to configure Kaspersky EDR sandboxing then set up permissions for various teams and customers."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Affordable but with additional costs"
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"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."
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
