Corelight Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Account Executive at Fishtech Group4.0I use Corelight for packet capture sampling as part of managed services to identify east-west traffic in customer networks. It's low-cost, open-source, and based on Zeek, offering immediate ROI and visibility, though feature updates are lacking.
Technical Sales Manager at Spire Solutions3.5We use Corelight to monitor internet, data center, and LAN traffic. Its simplicity makes traffic tracking and soft analysis easy and allows for integration with various feeds. However, its complex architecture could be streamlined to a single platform to improve efficiency.
Manage Consultant at SITE4.0I use Corelight for customer incident response. It's easy to deploy, handle, and scalable, with good support. I'd improve the interface's interactivity and feature access. Despite this, I rate it 8/10, preferring it for its rule-based approach over alternatives.
Pre Sales Technician at DotForce5.0I find Corelight an excellent, stable, and affordable solution for network traffic analysis, providing crucial data for cyber security. It integrates well and simplifies incident remediation, despite initially lacking machine learning. I highly recommend it.
Chief Executive Officer at NetMetrix4.0I use Corelight for security, valuing its embedded Suricata IDS. While stable and scalable, it is expensive and needs a GUI. Setup is easy, and support is good. I rate it 8/10.
