Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
Ibrahim Albalawi - PeerSpot reviewer
Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing
The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

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 support team is responsive."
"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 automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"The most valuable feature is being able to look at users' behavioral profiles to see what they typically access. One of the key events that we monitor is people's downloading of objects... It's very easy to see people's patterns, what they typically do."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"The AI capabilities enhance threat detection."
"We can select the resource group name or functionality directly of which type of security tool logs we want. We don't need to write the query for that; we just have to select."
"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."
"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."
 

Cons

"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."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"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."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"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."
"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
"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."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"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."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"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."
"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."
