Elasticsearch Ratings and Reviews

Elasticsearch is currently our log aggregator and SIEM. It is collecting Windows Event Logs, Syslog, DNS logs and HIDS logs. We use it in the IT department, but its reach is far and wide and collects data from every domain machine we have. The problems it solves are numerous! We have dashboards set up for authentication activity, firewall event and VPN activity. With a single glance, it's easy to understand the data and move on to other tasks. In the event of an incident, the detail that is able to be gleaned is incredible. The SIEM app has a working Timeline feature that allows you to simply drag and drop events when investigating an issue. Host intrusion is done by a third-party app but is able to ship the data right to Elasticsearch for easy processing, storage, and display.
Log storage efficiency - We have millions of events a day and are able to keep 90 days worth for under 1TB of on disk space. Dashboards - Technically through Kibana(but I consider the entire stack as part of Elasticsearch.) Dashboards are easy to manipulate and create from scratch. Many shippers have premade dashboards ready for day one, too. Speed - Have you ever searched an indexed database of 200 million events and found an answer in a matter of seconds? You could with Elasticsearch. - ramesh k.
Term is very confusing (i.e. should, must) Query Structure is very complicated. Built-in GUI Component should be there
