Seamless integration and advanced threat intelligence with good data management
I am an implementation architect, so I have admin access to Google Chronicle. Google Chronicle is a SIEM tool that collects and stores data from various sources, such as network logs, cloud logs, device logs, security logs, and audit logs. It offers four types of ingestion: forwarder, cloud…

The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
We use Securonix Next-Gen SIEM primarily for managed SOC, focusing on threat detection, baselining, and ensuring the maturity of our SOC security operations.  It is integrated with threat intelligence and utilizes frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.  The solution helps in threat…

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."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The support team is responsive."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."
"The scalability is one of the remarkable qualities of this product, which makes it very effective, especially when we are dealing with substantial data volumes in the cloud."
"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."
"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."
"We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation."
 

Cons

"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"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 solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
"Regarding the analysis of security events on the SOC side, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to improve its automation capabilities."
"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"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."
"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."
