Kibana vs Grafana — which should we use?

Kibana is the best choice when Elasticsearch is your primary data store. Grafana is more versatile across multiple data sources. We often use both together.

Can Kibana handle security analytics?

Yes. Elastic Security (built into Kibana) provides SIEM, endpoint protection, and threat hunting capabilities with pre-built detection rules.

Should we use Elastic Cloud or self-host?

Elastic Cloud reduces operational burden with managed infrastructure. Self-hosting gives cost control at scale. We deploy and manage both options.
