Cons
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation.""The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with.""This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage.""With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data.""Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use.""The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated.""Their visuals and graphs need to be better.""It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."

"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.""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."
