Cons
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions.""Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them.""The tool should improve its scalability.""I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users.""Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation.""It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side.""It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great.""The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
