Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
Hrishiraj Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"The technical support from Google is very important and great."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

Cons

"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"They are slow, and the initial responses often require more information rather than providing helpful solutions."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"It is still not mature enough."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"Google Chronicle Suite lacks near time detection. There is a delay of about twenty minutes between logs coming in and an alert being generated. This timeframe, while seemingly short, can have significant implications in the event of a critical issue."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
