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.

Helps to deal with potential attacks and is available at a reasonable price
My company has had many benefits from the use of the product in the last eight years. The tool has streamlined our company's incident response process since it serves as a log repository, which allows us to correlate events and access different technology stacks. In our company, we were able to actually find some potential attacks, so it has been very helpful. The tool's integration capability isn't so great. In my company, we managed to integrate it with our Microsoft Azure Subscription, after which we managed to integrate it with other tools. You will face a lot of difficulties if you want to integrate it with your database monitoring tool, PAM solutions, or IAM products. The product has done well overall for my company's teams to deal with their workflow efficiency. I would not recommend the product to others. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

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 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 changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events very much quicker."
"The use of functions and lookup tables in CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM dramatically improves investigation outcomes because of reduced latency."
"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."
"I have noticed significant improvements in the speed and effectiveness of my security analyses since I started using this tool."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"Technically speaking, this is a good product."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"Technical support is very good; they try to resolve issues with the proper SLAs which are defined by them and they understand the client's requirements as well as the client's infrastructure in a better manner."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
 

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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved with the Fusion Workflow. Some integrations, specifically APIs, could be improved because there are so many different formats, so it's not consistent."
"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."
"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."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve with full integration with other tools."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved by being more user-friendly."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets is far behind the competition."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"It is overly complicated. It has taken years to implement and the return on investment just isn't there."
"Security needs improvement."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
