KS
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.

Network Engineer at RSUP Dr. Sardjito
Transparent and offers real-time analysis but needs more documentation
The solution provides us with transparency to give us information about what happens in the network. With this information, the administrator can see a lot of things. They can see hacking attempts from the internet that target our servers, and, with that information, they can check the security settings in the server to see if it is strong enough or not, and make sure the servers is safe. They also can see attacks directed to the endpoint. We know which endpoint got infected so we can take action to clean it. The software also has good reporting capabilities. We can create custom reports according to our needs.

Pros

"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."
"I think everything is good about CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, as we have many features available."
"The use of functions and lookup tables in CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM dramatically improves investigation outcomes because of reduced latency."
"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."
"This agility has made projects and daily operations much 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 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."
"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."
"SmartEvent Event Management is a solid platform overall, and I would definitely recommend it."
"The capability of real-time analysis of security events is useful."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Dashboard settings sometimes change due to CrowdStrike updates, and the company should provide an overview of which function in the module is located where, enabling faster access to settings such as setting a rule or viewing detections."
"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."
"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."
"The number one thing that would be an improvement for me is making dashboard creation easier."
"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."
"The only downside I've encountered with SmartEvent Event Management is occasional lag during video calls, especially with a lot of participants."
"They should provide easy to access guides or manuals, maybe videos, about how to manage or use the software effectively and efficiently, to maximize its features."
