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.
Mohammed Nadeem Rais - PeerSpot reviewer
The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"The tool's functionality is good for overall security and incident response times."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation."
"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."
"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"The solution's basic setup takes time, and a lot of effort is required from the beginning to make it actually work."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"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."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
"The incident response area should be improved."
"The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and comes at unit cost. You don't have to pay for everything."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"Elastic Stack is an open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything for the components."
"The pricing is in the middle. I think it is not an expensive experience if we compare it with big names, for example, QRadar, and also Oxide. I think Elastic Security is quite cheap. I would rate the pricing of this solution a five out of ten."
"Compared to other tools, Elastic Security is a cheaper solution."
"I find it better than Splunk in terms of cost-effectiveness. For cost-effectiveness, I would rate it a nine out of 10."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."
"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
