Cyber Security Software Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

Centralized log onboarding has transformed root-cause analysis and streamlined alert-driven triage
I do not use automations within CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at this point, but that is something that we want to do in the future. Maybe I did not experiment or did not investigate, but if we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything. Actually, the circumstances that prompted my company to explore new SIEM solutions maybe include a point where the storage space or the license that we have, probably compared to other SIEM products, they have more, or the pricing and sales that go into the picture there. Again, that is above my pay grade to comment on, but it probably could be better if we can provide more storage of the data for the license that has been provided for organizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has drastically changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events, enabling analysts to save quite a bit of time, around 70% I would say, and making our ways of working more efficient."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has definitely changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events because of how fast the parsing happens and how fast the searches happen."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has significantly changed the speed at which our team searches, investigates, and responds to security events because it provides a comprehensive overview of network activities."
"The speed with which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events has saved us more than 70% of the time by having the sources integrated in one place, and thanks to Falcon MCP, we can use AI to save time."
"The feature I like the most about CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is the speed, as it has changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events, with things going from days to minutes or hours."
"The dialogue primarily focused on introductory information about my role and experience."
"I have noticed significant improvements in the speed and effectiveness of my security analyses since I started using this tool."
"Free EDR telemetry integration into the SIEM, eliminating extra ingestion costs. Fast query speed on complex searches. Platform consolidation: EDR + SIEM + SOAR in one, replacing several isolated tools and reducing overall cost. Out-of-the-box detection rules you can enable almost immediately. Native Fusion SOAR with growing automation capabilities, including custom Python scripts in workflows. Continuous platform development that evolves with your needs. Case management built into the platform. Very stable, including the shared EDR agent. Highly scalable with plenty of connectors and integration methods. Straightforward migration from the previous EDR."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"CQL is more complex than other query languages like KQL, which raises the learning curve for some team members. Charlotte AI is not yet delivering the quality of competing AI solutions. Licensing can be complex across modules (mitigated by a good account manager, but still a platform-side issue). No standout advantage over other top-tier SIEMs in actual investigations or incidents, as long as configuration is done properly — the differentiator is integration and speed, not analytical depth."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could be improved with optimization of the internal audit process because today not all internal metrics are reflected in CrowdStrike's internal logs in the internal log repositories."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve with full integration with other tools."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could be improved in the way lookup tables work, particularly concerning the limitations of the number of rows, and enhancements in workflow creation to make it more intuitive and easier to manage searches from within workflows."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved by being more user-friendly."
"I have experienced stability issues."
"Regarding potential for optimization, I imagine more could be done with the platform itself through the consolidation of the different modules, so that you do not have to call up the same menu everywhere, such as Detections, but that this is also consolidated into the Next-Gen SIEM module."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved mainly in back-end stability because it is inconsistent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
