Google Chronicle Suite Reviews

We are one of the five partners of Google Chronicle Suite in the world. We resell the solution, and we implement it for Google.

Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities. The enterprise version comes with one of the best threat intelligence capabilities in the world.

The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly.

I have been using Google Chronicle Suite for more than two years.

I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten for stability.

I rate Google Chronicle Suite nine and a half out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support is good but not great. Recently, Google has started hiring people for the technical support team. We never needed their support unless it was something to be done to which we did not have access.

Positive

The solution’s initial setup is not that easy.

We have done multiple implementations, and the solution's deployment time depends on the organization.

Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine.

We are using the latest version of Google Chronicle Suite.

Scalability is one of the requirements in enterprise-level organizations. They need a flexible solution that can be scaled easily. An enterprise-level organization will have huge amounts of data. If you want to do threat hunting for one year for such an organization, you don't want a system that goes down if you search for more than 30 days. You need a solution that will give you good search results.

Google Chronicle Suite is one of the best products in the market if you are looking for incident response and threat-hunting use cases. It is not a recommended solution for compliance, reporting, or dashboarding.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven or seven and a half out of ten.

I've been using the solution as a consultant while working for a client who has chosen Google Chronicle as their SIEM solution. We are using the product as a centralized log management solution and as a solution for threat intelligence. We use it to analyze incoming log information and automatically generate alerts from indicators that have been compromised.

The search feature is quite performant. The log folder is fairly simple. It is easy to get it up and running and to use for log management and forwarding. I found it quite useful that the solution has premade dashboards, which provide information on errors in the system and general monitoring functionality.

The configuration is not optimal. It requires copy and paste of configuration files. Generally, the ingest of logs could be done in simpler and more streamlined ways. The exporting of log information also has room for improvement.

I am using the solution currently.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten. I have not encountered any issues.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten. Around 12 people use the product in our organization. The usage will increase as it's gaining traction on the market, and more people will have to work in consulting.

I'm working as a SIEM consultant. I've worked with several SIEM systems over time.

The initial setup is very easy. As a cloud-native tool, it includes provisioning an instance and connecting it to a single sign-on. I rate the ease of setup a ten out of ten.

The price is not dependent on the volume of information ingested, which most competitors do. In many cases, that makes it less pricey than the competition, but not in all cases.

The solution has room for improvement. People who want to use the tool must get a Google partner to work with them and outsource the whole thing. The product is a great choice. Organizations must ensure they have competent people who can use the tool to its full potential. A lot of it may be wasted if they don't have the right people or the right partner. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the product for search engine integration and its ability to monitor and address network attention or login issues 24/7.

The product helps us with data retrieval and security features.

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 product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability.

We have been using Google Chronicle Suite for two years as an integrator.

We encountered platform downtime once or twice.

It is a scalable product. We manage accounts for Google Chronicle Suite seven to eight customers.

We have limited technical support services. However, they provide good support, understand the queries, and respond.

Positive

The initial setup process is easy. The deployment involves checking default requirements for installing the product and configuring the log source. It requires five to ten minutes to complete. It doesn't need any maintenance. We have to make sure the forwarder is not switched off.

I rate Google Chronicle Suite a nine out of ten. It helps connect to the log sources rapidly. However, it has limited IAM access and dashboarding features.
