Popular Comparisons It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge.
The indexing and data collection are valuable.
Popular Comparisons The best feature of IBM QRadar is visualization which shows you when there's a spike in the system, and this makes you realize that there's something wrong with the log.
Popular Comparisons The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products.
Popular Comparisons The querying and the log-retention capabilities are pretty powerful. Those provide some of the biggest value-add for us.
The most powerful feature is the way the data is stored and extracted. The data is always stored in its original format and you can normalize the data after it has been stored.
Popular Comparisons Elastic Security allows us to deliver visibility in a few hours, which makes our customers more confident in our service.
We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive.
Popular Comparisons NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness.
The security operation center is excellent.
Popular Comparisons The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched.
Popular Comparisons 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.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Topics
Tips for choosing the right SIEM solution
As with any enterprise tech solution, it’s important to spend time doing your research and POC, so that you know that you’re spending on the right product. We sifted through some of our users’ answers to summarize some of the best tips.
- Define your goal
Before starting to evaluate solutions, It’s important to define what you want to accomplish with a SIEM. Marty Baron says, “Every SIEM has different strengths and weaknesses so you need to know what is most important to you in terms of goals, so you don’t waste time looking at something that can’t do the thing you need it to do.”
- Limit your options
As one of your users says, “Review a finite number of products, otherwise you’ll never finish”. Although it’s important to spend time doing due diligence, you need to get to the point of implementation. If you have too many options, it will take too long to make a decision. Users suggest making a shortlist of options that meet your technical requirements, speak to your goal, and match your budget
- Create a framework for your POC
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, it’s time to trial the shortlisted products. Users recommend putting a framework in place to guide the POC. This way, you can evaluate your options systematically.
One user, DAX Paulino, suggests “creat[ing] a checklist of features that you need, from the basic (i.e. interactive dashboards, ease of integration, Threat Intelligence), to the more advanced (i.e. Automated response, Behavior Analytics, etc.). Give each item on your checklist a score so that you can weigh in on each item as a measure of your decision. Don’t forget to factor in usability and support.”
