Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM needs better dashboards, automation, storage, licensing flexibility, and more cat-themed threat actor integrations.
Huntress Managed SIEM users seek improved alert triage, integrations, customization, automation, UI simplicity, and enhanced visibility and control.
I would suggest including data normalization, specifically a way to easily normalize data from different sources, as currently you can do it, but it is a little bit more labor-intensive.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
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.
IAM Senior Software Engineer at MGM Resorts International
I believe CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved by continuing on the path it is on.
Security Operations at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed SIEM offers easy setup and cost-efficient pricing based on data sources, aiding in predictable budgeting.
I believe most competitors charge by the data slightly differently compared to how this solution does, as it is per data source rather than data size in gigabytes.

I did not have to spend more than what I initially budgeted for.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that everything was pretty easy to do

IAM Senior Software Engineer at MGM Resorts International
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.

SOAR Catalyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Centralized monitoring has reduced manual investigations and supports 24x7 threat response
Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved if there were more flexible dashboards or reporting options for different clients and security requirements, if it had more powerful filtering and correlation capabilities, just like Wazuh, and also broader native integrations with firewalls, cloud platforms, and third-party security tools. Alert customization is important. One area where I would like to see improvements is the reporting. More detailed, customizable reports which show security trends, incident timelines, and response metrics would be beneficial. The reason I chose nine out of ten is that the improvements I was discussing, which include dashboard customization and advanced filtering options, would make it easier for me to conduct investigations. The advanced log filtering and reporting flexibility also need some tuning. More control over these features would make daily investigations much easier.
