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.
Yashokanth Partkunan - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed Services Engineer at Loop1 Systems
Has supported client needs efficiently but requires deeper analysis features and faster support
The log analyzing capability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager should go into more depth than the current environment. More modification and enhancements are required on the dashboard side in order to make it closer to optimal performance. From observation and feedback from users, they need more functionality related to monitoring, and in-depth analyzing needs to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the technical support a nine out of ten. They're friendly. Whenever we have a P1 issue, we write an email and our issue is resolved in one or two hours."
"SNYPR is valuable for any organization because it is not only a traditional SIEM, it is also a UEBA tool that does behavior analytics and provides a lot of analytics and visibility in the UI itself."
"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."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."
"It is an excellent tool that helps us optimize threat-hunting operations, detect intrusive events on the network, and respond to security incidents."
"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."
"I see Securonix as a full-featured SIEM; I was looking for a SIEM tool that has traditional SIEM as well as UEBA, and found Securonix to be a good fit for our company, Avalara."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"It will identify things in your network that you just didn't know were going on."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is intuitivity of navigation; it's easy to build rules and actions which are based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"SolarWinds is easy to configure, and it provides timely alerts."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"The reporting and alerting capabilities are really nice."
"Technical support for this solution is good."
 

Cons

"The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"The UX could be simpler."
"SIEM could have better integration with other technologies."
"Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"We'd like more customization capabilities."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"We have automated threat detection in the Alliance Security, Antoinette. However, if these features could be further enhanced, it would simplify my work, potentially allowing me to allocate more time to address complex issues."
"The main area that would mean a big improvement for me would be for the product to include multiple dashboards."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."
"The tool is available at a good price for customers compared to other solutions in the market. I rate the product's price as an eight out of ten."
"We do a yearly license renewal. For a year, the solution costs roughly $500,000 USD. There are no costs beyond this yearly fee."
"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."
"Licensing is on devices, so if you have many, then this may be high."
"The pricing model would benefit from having package deals with other SolarWinds products."
"It is in the appropriate mid-range. It is not as expensive as some of the other solutions. It is also not cheap."
