It's helpful for looking at multiple data sources to find find patterns or anomalies
We primarily use Elastic Security as a log aggregator, so we use it like a SIEM. It ingests all our logs and reports on them in aggregate We've used Elastic Security to solve some challenges involving various data sources. Things were being logged, but they were scattered around the organization.…

We are using the solution for configuration and file integrity management. It's a validation tool.  They have multiple great features.  It offers most of the functionalities we need.  The one thing missing is the IPS part, the blocking part.  We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades. I've…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very stable and reliable."
"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."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"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."
"I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed. We moved to Fluentd making our stack from ELK to EFK."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"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."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no charge for using the open-source version."
"This is an open-source product, so there are no costs."
"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 solution is free."
"I can say that the product is cheaply priced."
"It's a monthly cost with Elastic SIEM, but I am not sure of the exact cost."
"Compared to other products such as Dynatrace, this is one of the cheaper options."
"Elastic Security is free to use."
