Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

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

"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"They are very updated. Their customer responses are great, and they keep using the new AI tools to keep themselves at the edge of the game."
"In the beginning, we were hesitant to use a new tool, but it soon became our go-to tool for checking and verifying any issues."
"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
"The solution's AI features reduce the need for manual analysis and help in decision-making. It displays the report in seconds. It saves my resources three to four hours of work."
"We can select the resource group name or functionality directly of which type of security tool logs we want. We don't need to write the query for that; we just have to select."
"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."
"What I like most is that the threat models and risk scoring are very accurate and very helpful to the analysts on my team. They help highlight the most important things for them to look at."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."
"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."
"Parsing needs to be improved. Every time we integrate a new, specific data source, we face a lot of problems in parsing, even for the old data source."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. They should work on stability on tool."
"Support is an area for improvement because it takes a little time for them to attend to tickets."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"SIEM could have better integration with other technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"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."
"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"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."
