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 of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"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."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"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."
"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."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"We'd like better premium support."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"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."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"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."
