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

"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"Elastic Security makes data communication easier."
"The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"It helps improve security in our organization."
"The content filtering options are good."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Its customer service is quite good."
 

Cons

"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"The solution is expensive."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"The solution lacks DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"It is easy to deploy, easy to use, and you get everything you need to become operational with it, and have nothing further to pay unless you want the OLED plugin."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"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 tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"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."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
