Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's open-source and free to use."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The tool's functionality is good for overall security and incident response times."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"The pricing is decent."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"Has great behavior detection and a very good firmware scanner."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
 

Cons

"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"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 want to find an automatic security system in the tool, like a SOAR solution. I am looking forward to seeing a SOAR system in the tool."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."

"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 worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
