We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."
"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."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"It would be better if Elastic Security had less storage for data. My customers do not like this. Other vendors have local support in different countries, but Elastic Security doesn't. I would like to have Operational Technology (OT) security in the next release."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."
"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."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
