Elastic Security Likes & Dislikes
It is the seamless unification of SIEM, XDR and endpoint protection into one powerhouse platform. It's like having a full-spectrum security orchestra that plays perfectly in tune. Real-time AI-driven threat detection and Kibanas drag-and-drop dashboard make investigating complex attacks intuitive and fast, turning hours of manual log-sifting into minutes of actionable insights. Plus, its scalability handles massive data volumes across hybrid environments without compromising performance, delivering unbeatable TCO compared to fragmented legacy tools. Its empowered our team to shift from constant alert overload to strategic hunting, which is a game-changer for any SOC under pressure.
I like the customizability, flexibility, and overall functionality of the Elasticsearch cluster. I am a big fan of the numerous integrations and prebuilt alerting rules.
Flexibility: There are so many use cases for the product and it keeps expanding.
The initial learning curve for fine-tuning custom ML jobs and UEBA models can be steep if your team lacks Elasticsearch expertise. It took us a couple weeks of trial and error to optimize the anomaly detection for our unique OT traffic patterns. Endpoint agent deployment occasionally hit compatibility hiccups on legacy Windows servers, requiring manual tweaks or staged rollouts, which slowed our full coverage by about 10% initially. Reporting customization for executive summaries feels clunky compared to Kibanas investigative prowess - you end up scripting exports or using third party connectors for polished CISO-ready PDFs, rather than one click native.
The AI capabilities, based on what is considered GA in the product right now, is really, really subpar. I also dislike that we can't easily downgrade if we perform an upgrade and it causes issues. Overall, the product is really good but the constant drive to introduce new features seems to negatively impact the stability and reliability of the tool Also, the documentation provided by Elastic is far too complex and vague to be of any real help when troubleshooting. And - it's REALLY, REALLY hard to find experienced engineers working with Elasticsearch.
Querying across indexes. This has to be done outside of the query engine (for now). Case sensitivity on fields when you are trying to search for hostnames. These can be fixed with enrichment, but require upfront knowledge and planning.

Unified SIEM and XDR Platform Streamlines Threat Detection Across Hybrid Environments
It´s transformed our SOC from reactive firefighting to proactive threat domination. We deployed it across hybrid environments (on-prem servers, AWS, and OT networks), and the unified SIEM+XDR approach with AI-Driven detection rules cut our mean time to respond by over 70% in the first quarter alone. Kibana´s intuitive dashboards and real-time visualizations make threat hunting feel effortless, while features like Endpoint Security and Attack Discovery have stopped sophisticated attacks we´d have missed with legacy tools. - IT MANAGER50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source

Product Offers Simplicity but Faces Performance and Kubernetes Compatibility Issues
It works quite well out of the box without much tinkering. I'm quite satisfied. Kubernetes support is quite lacking.
