Network visibility has transformed how we detect nation state threats and protect critical industry
Before Corelight recently started pushing some of the agentic features, querying at times could be a little difficult, depending on your mastery of log scale. However, I think with a lot of the artificial intelligence that they are building in, it is getting a lot easier to query in the platform. I would definitely encourage them to continue down that path where anybody can hop into the platform and start running queries, whether it is a simple instruction like I want this, and an artificial intelligence process can actually build the query and do it. I think that would be super powerful. Cyber skill sets are in high demand, and there is a huge backlog in cyber talent. We cannot fill all the positions we need. The easier we can make these cyber systems for people to pick up and be effective on, I think is really key. Explainability of data is hyper important. In the past few artificial intelligence related updates we have gotten from Corelight, that has been one of the first questions our team has asked every time or that I have asked: show me what the model is doing, show me how it came to this analysis. Within Investigator platform, they are able to walk through and see exactly what data the artificial intelligence pulled from where and why it did what it did as far as making its suggestions. They have definitely built their system with artificial intelligence in mind up front, and having that openness as one of the key features of any of their artificial intelligence and machine learning processes in the platform is important. The issue with black boxes is obviously hallucinations from artificial intelligence and just not being able to trace to ground truth. When we are talking about these cyber incidents and being able to do forensics, you need to be able to pinpoint and tie everything together, and black boxes really obscure that and prevent you from doing so. Corelight has done a really good job of making sure that everything is explainable and everything is mapped when it comes to leveraging any of their artificial intelligence features.

Network visibility has transformed migrations and now drives proactive threat hunting
In terms of improvement, I have found sometimes ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 duplicates data a bit because it basically spans the data information from the sources within the network, so sometimes it's very hard to correlate data because it sometimes gets multiple feeds. I would to say that it needs to have some sort of internal check to validate data rather than duplicating from multiple sources so that we don't have to manually correct the source of truth.Plus, I think I would like to see continued improvements in AI-assisted threat hunting and natural language queries so the analysts can move from high-level detection to the relevant user, device, application, and network evidence with fewer manual pivots. Making advanced features easier for less experienced analysts to use would help organizations to get more value from the platforms. I would like to add one more thing: if we could have more customization of dashboards and role-based views, stronger out-of-the-box correlations with SIEM, EDR, and identity platforms, and maybe further automation of investigation response workflows, that will be great.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It's an easy way for us to get visibility in a client's environment."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to handle."
"Corelight is easy to use."
"Technical support seems to be good."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded IDS from Suricata."
"Corelight Open NDR has had a positive impact on my company, providing visibility as the Suricata engine can scan huge volumes of traffic, including north-south and east-west, revealing signatures and exposures I was not expecting and enabling me to catch them with Suricata alerts."
"Corelight makes much easier the remediation of cyber attacks; instead of facing a chaotic amount of logs, Corelight provides correlated metrics that allow pivoting to find, in seconds, all the data related to an alert, detection, or asset."
"It's easy to create additional dashboards specific to supporting specific tasks."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments."
"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."
"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."
"In terms of workload and pinpointing issues, ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has helped us a lot and made our life as network Level 3 support easier."

Cons

"In the next release, building a graphical user interface would be helpful."
"It's an expensive solution and the price could be reduced."
"Before Corelight recently started pushing some of the agentic features, querying at times could be a little difficult, depending on your mastery of log scale."
"Machine learning could be a good improvement, but it's very costly."

"Corelight hasn’t added features in a long time."
"They can enhance the interface of the product. They can make it more interactive and also easier to use for feature access."
"Their professional service can be improved."
"One challenge with ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is its pricing, which tends to be comparatively high in the marketplace."
"There needs to be more support."
"In terms of improvement, I have found sometimes ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 duplicates data a bit because it basically spans the data information from the sources within the network, so sometimes it's very hard to correlate data because it sometimes gets multiple feeds."
"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."
"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."
"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."
