Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

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

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"It is stable."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"The user interface is very good."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications; it seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial, and I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"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."
"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."
"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."
"It is an excellent tool that helps us optimize threat-hunting operations, detect intrusive events on the network, and respond to security incidents."
"One of the most valuable features it has is the thread chaining. One of the common issues that we always had was the number of anomalies that we used to get and the number of alerts that we used to get. But with this approach of thread chaining, we've found the false-positive rate has decreased very significantly. That was something that we never could have achieved before."
"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 I have found most valuable is their analytics platform where they have the open security data-link, which they introduced, and this is typically different from the other vendors."
"It has improved the threat detection response and reduced noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
 

Cons

"The scalability is limited."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"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."
"Support is an area for improvement because it takes a little time for them to attend to tickets."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"I face slowness issues sometimes."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training."
"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"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 an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
