Provides good anomaly detection and connectivity reporting
I use Elastic Security to aggregate all logs from different devices in one place. It works pretty well and provides one overview of everything The solution's most valuable features are anomaly detection and connectivity reporting. Elastic Security also has many automation capabilities, which can…

A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"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."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"The search feature within AXON is pretty robust. It's actually very fast in comparison to that in the previous platform. It's going to really help with investigations when they get rules put into the system."
 

Cons

"Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"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."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon. Faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"The solution is not expensive and costs around ten dollars a month."
"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 tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"We are using the free, open-source version of this solution."
"The product offers an amazing pricing structure. Price-wise, the product is very competitive."
"We use the open-source version, so there is no charge for this solution."
"I know that there are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product...The pricing of LogRhythm Axon falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
