Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.

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.
