Securonix Next-Gen SIEM boosts security awareness, operational efficiency, and ROI, reducing costs and response times for users.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.0
Users commend Huntress Managed EDR for prompt, personalized, and friendly customer service, rating it highly despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
5.6
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM support is generally effective and knowledgeable but varies in response time, with regional differences.
I felt it was important to raise awareness about this new technique where attackers use legitimate applications to gain remote access and control of computers.
They are thorough and ensure the problem is addressed without pushing responsibilities onto me unnecessarily.
For technical support, I would rate Huntress a ten out of ten, and in truth, they are better than that.
There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.
If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.
They excel in response times and quick reactions when there's an actual threat.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.5
Huntress Managed EDR offers effortless scalability for enterprises, supporting rapid addition of endpoints with reliable, cloud-based flexibility.
Sentiment score
7.9
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM excels in scalability and performance, efficiently managing large data volumes and user numbers in cloud environments.
I know other techs with thousands deployed, so scalability isn't an issue.
Scaling Huntress is simple; I can manage up to a thousand devices without issue.
I can easily scale from one machine to thousands without any fuss.
I can rate it around eight to nine, and it is very scalable and capable of handling tasks, especially for the on-premises product.
We have not had any customers come back to say they cannot scale at the speed of their business growth.
The solution is scalable as it is cloud-based and cloud-native.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Huntress Managed EDR is praised for stability, minimal issues, lightweight performance, with occasional minor compatibility concerns.
Sentiment score
7.8
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is stable with good performance, occasional slowness, and effective log management, despite initial challenges.
We have not experienced any issues with lagging, crashing, or downtime.
I never experienced issues, but once there was an instance with false positives with their Rio service, which was quickly resolved by customer service.
It barely takes up resources on the computer, and I have had no issues with lagging or crashing.
The stability of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is based on the events we are processing.
 

Room For Improvement

Huntress Managed EDR needs better reporting, API access, Mac support, third-party integrations, and user-friendly interfaces and customizations.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs improvements in user experience, integration, automation, customization, technical support, and compatibility with other technologies.
A more transparent way for the support team at Huntress and our IT team to collaborate to make it faster and easier would be beneficial.
Since we support customers in different countries, expanding the language options for their training would be beneficial.
Their EDR is pretty mature in terms of what it does.
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
SIEM could have better integration with other technologies.
 

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed EDR provides cost-effective pricing with transparent billing, appealing to enterprises despite incremental price increases.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers transparent, competitive pricing based on users, excluding data charges, making it attractive for enterprises.
The savings from utilizing the included Windows Defender offset the cost of Huntress Managed EDR, making it an affordable solution overall.
It is not too expensive or too cheap. It is just right.
It can get expensive for small to medium businesses if large license quantities are not purchased.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
The solution is definitely not expensive.
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.
 

Valuable Features

Huntress Managed EDR offers 24/7 threat-hunting, easy deployment, and robust protection, effectively replacing traditional antivirus solutions.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM enhances threat detection through advanced analytics and AI-driven features, reducing false positives and manual efforts.
What stands out most is their human element: when faced with an unknown threat, real people, not just automated processes, are investigating it, and they're people we trust.
They provide detailed remediation steps, explaining why an issue is a problem and what steps to take.
Previously, I could not modify it unless I had special Microsoft licensing, so it was beneficial to control Windows Defender through a central console to add policies and things like that.
The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities.
Now, the process is automatic, reducing our workload.
The other SIEM solutions lack an option for big data analysis, whereas in the Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, we have this option.

Featured Reviews

Anto Baharian - PeerSpot reviewer
Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface
One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.
Mohammed Nadeem Rais - PeerSpot reviewer
The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
