Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.

Real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast and very easy to use
The alerting and real-time analytics helped the security team. They are using a Hadoop database, so real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast. Queries return results quickly and in very small time. It has full automation and automated SIEM responses. We are currently only testing Logsign, but in a few months, we plan to integrate our servers, routers, firewalls, and endpoints into our company's Logsign instance. Then, we can manage everything using Logsign.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The deployment was smooth across all seven projects I have, everything was in place with documents and step-by-step guidance readily available, and Cribl support is very good because whenever we got stuck, we just needed to open a ticket and the support team was very responsive and helped us get the deployment done quickly."
"What I appreciate most about Cribl is that it addresses a major gap in the market compared to the competition."
"My favorite feature of Cribl is just how easy it makes working with the data; it's always been a pain point for us with other solutions, just taking our raw data from the source, transforming and manipulating it into what we need on the SIM side."
"Mostly because of the positive reasons, I would say it is easy to use, it is sustainable, the support is nice, the coding is quite easy to understand, there are a lot of functionalities there, you can do a lot of things, and the data migration is very easy."
"Using Cribl for five years has simplified a lot of use cases when onboarding data, and because it is simplified, it takes less time, which is a huge win."
"Cribl's ability to handle high volumes of diverse data types is exactly the purpose that we took it for, and as far as I have seen for the last nine months, it is handling well without issues."
"Cribl's ability to handle high volumes of diverse data types such as logs and metrics is impressive."
"Cribl does a really great job of making sure that no matter how crazy the data set is, we're able to see that data and understand it, and then perform advanced functions against the data to make sure that it is in the ready state for whatever the end place is in which we wish to send it."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
 

Cons

"The pricing has been increasing year-over-year, and I understand that the cost of business continues to grow."
"Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes."
"Some downsides of Cribl include that it was quite a long sales cycle for us, but that was probably partly my fault as well."
"There is room for improvement in Cribl, as managing data from around forty thousand servers can become complex."
"We encountered some issues with the syslog data stream, particularly with handling large databases and extensive data logs."
"The cost part is very high compared to alternatives such as Edge Delta, which offers much cheaper prices."
"It's very difficult to aggregate low-volume logs because the worker processes don't share state."
"The user interface is acceptable, but I think a person who is just starting to use it will need to go through documentation because there is a steep learning curve to become familiar with Cribl Stream."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I would not say it is a cheaply priced tool as it has been doing wonders in the market. The tool has been budget-friendly for organizations."
"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
