Helped reduce our operational costs and increase our efficiency, but it can be more user-friendly
Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system. This is one area where Gurucul UEBA could improve. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool itself could provide or assign user-based or asset-based CI ratings to allow for a more accurate assessment of alert severity. In our environment, we forward these logs, events, and alerts to SIM, where the CI rating is already present. Therefore, if we need to closely investigate a UEBA case directly, it becomes problematic. Gurucul UEBA should proactively incorporate asset-based or user-based CI severity into its design. Gurucul UEBA needs to be more user-friendly. I would like Gurucul UEBA to be able to integrate with legacy-based identity systems and systems that are performing network-based access control. This would require additional integration and playbook models.

Inbuilt detection algorithms, attentive technical support, and reasonably priced
In terms of scalability, we tested 180,000 events per second with no problems. It is not calculated based on the number of users. In terms of scalability, we calculate security platforms based on events per second. It can be one of the factors, but it is not the determining factor for scalability. Scalability is determined by the number of events that can be processed per second. When looking at enterprise users who are connected to the SOC. An organization can have 100,000 employees, contractors, or staff, but that is not how the same solutions are allocated. In that organization, based on assets, end users, endpoint network devices, and so on and so forth, the result will be events per second. In terms of the same tool usage, the same tool or Securonix tool will be used only by the number of SOC analysts who are monitoring the entire environment. Nobody else uses it. The data for all employees and staff in that organization is consolidated. That is one way of looking at it, and it is not proportional. The number of employees and security events per second is not a direct correlation factor. We are an MSSP. We use it based on the needs of our customers. We are not using it for our own internal purposes. Based on our customer's requirements we deploy it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reporting feature was the key differentiator. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"The feature dashboard is very well organized and intuitive to use. It organizes information on a timeline which is exactly what we need for insider threat future-analysis."
"One of the most valuable features is UEBA. It's pretty helpful for us to make sure of our thresholds for any of our clients."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"It could be more stable."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"There is room for improvement in the algorithms. Although I said that we have a very solid starting point - our existing library is already very comprehensive - we constantly find areas where we need to develop new algorithms. That is common across platforms. Any vendor with a solid starting point would still need to continue to evolve."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Gurucul is competitive."
"The price is fair. In fact, I believe it was on the cheaper side when compared to the competition."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
