Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms
We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."
"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."
"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."
"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."
"The AI capabilities enhance threat detection."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
"Securonix could open up information regarding the indicators of compromise or cyber-threat intelligence database that they use. The idea is that they share what threats they are detecting."
"The customization in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is more difficult compared to other solutions. At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."
"The tool is an open source product."
"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."
"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."
"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"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 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."
"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
