Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation.""Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs.""The log folder is fairly simple.""Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities.""The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well.""What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool.""The support team is responsive.""The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."

More Google Chronicle Suite Pros →

"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters.""Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log.""Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.""​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day.""Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns.""The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly.""The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

Cons
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now.""The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs.""A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product.""The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel.""The configuration is not optimal.""The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly.""In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners.""The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."

More Google Chronicle Suite Cons →

"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert.""Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
  • "We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
  • "The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
  • "Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
  • More Google Chronicle Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

    Overview

    The Security Operations suite for the modern SOC - detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats with speed, scale, and precision.

    How Chronicle works:
    1. Collection - Chronicle ingests your own data into a private container at petabyte scale with 1-year retention.
    2. Detection - all of that data is aggregated, normalized, and linked with OOTB detections and threat intelligence.
    3. Investigation - that data is then exposed via case management, sub-second search, collaboration, and contextual mapping.
    4. Response - rapid response times occur via automated playbooks, incident management, and closed-loop feedback.

    Parsing hundreds of trivial alerts. Managing a mountain of data. Manually forwarding info from your endpoints. Forget that. InsightIDR instantly arms you with the insight you need to make better decisions across the incident detection and response lifecycle, faster.
