Real-time bot defense has protected telecom APIs and now keeps customer logins secure
While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment. One point is better handling of false positives. Although it is generally very accurate, in some cases, legitimate users or internal systems get flagged, especially corporate VPN users, internal testing tools, and partner integrations. The improvement would be a more granular and easier whitelisting mechanism and better transparency on why a request was blocked. Another point is more detailed analytics and custom reporting. The current dashboards are good, but sometimes detailed analysis is limited. Custom reporting options are not very flexible. As part of improvement, more customizable dashboards can be made, along with the ability to create business-specific reports, for each API and per region. Better visibility for API-level protection can also be developed. The protection works well, but debugging blocked API requests can take time and is not always easy to trace the exact reason for blocking, thus requiring more detailed logs and traceability for API traffic, along with easier correlation with backend systems. The integration with the existing security ecosystem can also be improved.

Centralized environment supports big data while facing integration challenges
The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the operation level, we are not facing many challenges with automating things using Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, but at the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present. The primary technology challenge we have is not at the security tools level. For example, firewall Cisco and others are capable. However, specific to product, for SAP, we are using certain products, and developing custom connectors for each product, especially the internal applications, is difficult, and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is not up to the mark.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main improvements have been better protection, reduced operational noise, improved system stability, and lower manual effort in handling bot-related incidents."
"After implementing DataDome, we observed measurable improvements across security, performance, and user experience."
"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."
"Most of our security is running on Securonix; it's the backbone of our security so we are running quite a lot on it."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"I find customer service to be very good."
"SNYPR is valuable for any organization because it is not only a traditional SIEM, it is also a UEBA tool that does behavior analytics and provides a lot of analytics and visibility in the UI itself."
"In summary: First, I have been able to reduce my overhead by half, and second, my analyst is a lot more efficient and the noise in my environment is reduced by at least 70 percent."
"With UEBA being a relatively new space when we looked at it close to two years ago, we were concerned about how well it worked and whether they were truly behavioral-based rules or if that was just marketing terminology for the "latest greatest system," but it exceeds what our initial expectations were for being able to detect different cyber threats."
"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."
 

Cons

"While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment."
"With DataDome, the biggest friction points we experienced were mostly around tuning and visibility during the early phase."
"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. They should work on stability on tool."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."
"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."
"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
