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.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue

Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 is a very vast tool, and while we discussed it, it can be used for many purposes, but we are using it only for the log onboarding at this point."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM played a significant role in my investigations by helping me move from searching across separate tools to investigating activity in a more unified interface."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events very much quicker."

"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."

"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."

"Fleet Manager Management, from which I can manage and deploy configurations to LogScale Collectors remotely without needing access to the machines where I collect logs is quite useful."

"The feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM that I like the most is the advanced search, which works smoothly without hanging, allows manipulation of a huge amount of data, and returns results within seconds."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM pros

"It is stable."

"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"

"The tool's reports show activities."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."

"The log management has helped to improve my organization."

"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."

"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve in the whole data ingestion and processing pipeline, as well as the storage capacity, to extend it beyond one year."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved by being more user-friendly."

"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."

"My opinion about the artificial intelligence is that Charlotte works well, but it is not entirely intelligent; sometimes it is better to use our own Anthropic or OpenAI models for better results."

"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve with full integration with other tools."

"I have not observed a clear return on investment yet."

"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 support for this solution has been generally useful for technical questions and deployment guidance. However, more proactive guidance for complex migrations would be helpful."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM cons

"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."

"The scalability is limited."

"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."

"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."

"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."

"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."

"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
