"Essential for Our Linux Security"
5/5
What do you like best about Elastic Security?

I really appreciate that Elastic Security provides great insight into our system. We can perform good analyses because we run a SOC without direct access to the machines, and for that, the defend function is very useful. Also, the initial installation of Elastic Security was very simple and straightforward. All in all, I am very satisfied and would definitely give Elastic Security a score of 10 as a recommendation to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Security?

Inventory of the machine which patches are installed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
