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.

Pros

"I think everything is good about CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, as we have many features available."

"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."

"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 use of functions and lookup tables in CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM dramatically improves investigation outcomes because of reduced latency."

"We use the solution because it is granular."

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

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

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

"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."

"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."

Cons

"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."

"The number one thing that would be an improvement for me is making dashboard creation easier."

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

"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."

"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."

"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."

"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."

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

"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."

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