Featured Reviews

Ansar Monideen - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.
Daniel_Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
Experiencing frequent disconnections and support challenges but benefits from quick implementation and integration capabilities
The timeout of the tenant is an area that needs improvement. When investigating and gathering information from the Helix tenant for extended periods, disconnections occur. This results in lost work and the need to restart investigations due to disconnected sessions. It is problematic when progress is lost and investigations must be restarted, resulting in lost information and significant time wastage. The capability to integrate with other TIPs or cybersecurity intelligence sources could be improved to determine whether IOCs are malicious, similar to Mandiant's functionality. The capacity to reduce false positives needs improvement as we receive many alerts from Helix that turn out to be false positives upon investigation. Enhanced capability in this area would make the system more efficient and easier to use. The dashboards could be improved as customers frequently request real-time SOC dashboard displays for Helix.
