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

"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"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 solution is stable and scalable."
"With UEBA being a relatively new space when we looked at it close to two years ago, we were concerned about how well it worked and whether they were truly behavioral-based rules or if that was just marketing terminology for the "latest greatest system," but it exceeds what our initial expectations were for being able to detect different cyber threats."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"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 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."
"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"
"Most of our clients are very happy with the solution."
 

Cons

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The scalability is limited."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."
"Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data."
"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."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"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 yearly subscription for the solution."
"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."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"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."
