We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Malwarebytes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"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."
"What customers found most valuable in Elastic Security feature-wise is the search capability, in particular, the way of writing the search query and the speed of searching for results."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"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."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"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."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
