What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Teams wanting fast search and a self-managed option
Elastic earns its place as the pick you can run yourself, in Elastic Cloud, on your own servers or in air-gapped sites, which matters if data cannot leave your network. It fits mid-market and enterprise teams that want that control. The trade-off is that a self-managed SIEM makes you responsible for the cluster, its upgrades and its storage.
