Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM needs better dashboards, automation, storage, licensing flexibility, and more cat-themed threat actor integrations.
Trellix ESM requires stability, HTML5 migration, and upgrades in customization, integration, support, usability, and AI for improved functionality.
An agent that advises me or notifies me what changes have happened since my last login to the platform, what has changed, what errors it has detected, what connector or parsing failures there have been, and that it gives me a prioritization approach indicating which of these failures are more important and where I should start applying fixes or resolving them.
Delivery Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Necessary improvements revolve around being able to store information in third-party repositories and being able to do federated searches without having to connect to third-party systems.
Senior Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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 there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that.
SVP IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Trellix ESM offers flexible, slightly costly licensing, valued for its SOC features, with straightforward setup and deployment.
there are cheaper vendors, there are more expensive vendors, but in general, I think it is well positioned.
Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
This consolidation has helped us free up a huge cost by being able to remove other tools in favor of a single one.
Not Specified at a wholesaler/distributor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There have been cases where it has turned out positive and cases where prices have been higher, depending on the specific circumstances and ecosystem of each client.
Senior Manager, Delivery at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM enhances speed, integrates data sources, scales efficiently, and improves detection accuracy, reducing workload.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has had a significant impact on alert volume, false positives, and analyst workload by using lookup tables to improve detection context.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events, with things going from days to minutes or hours.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
One of the features offered by CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM that is quite useful is 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.
Delivery Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The weakest point is it doesn't cover almost all the devices, so the customer has to be more dependent on the parsers to be written by the Professional Services team.

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.

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration
We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.
