Room For Improvement

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs improvements in user experience, integration, automation, customization, technical support, and compatibility with other technologies.
Vectra AI should improve integration, reporting, orchestration, reduce false positives, enhance accuracy, flexibility, and refine pricing and documentation.
At the admin level, we have many challenges where log parsing is causing issues and compatibility is not present.

Setup Cost

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers transparent, competitive pricing based on users, excluding data charges, making it attractive for enterprises.
Vectra AI pricing is seen as high but justified by its robust features, though expensive for some, like schools.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
Regional Channel Manager at i2sBusiness Solutions
The solution is definitely not expensive.
VP International Business and Alliances at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.

Assistant VP, Idm Compliance at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Threat detection has improved and malicious emails are now identified quickly
Vectra AI offers artificial intelligence capabilities with visibility that can be integrated into our day-to-day operations and other tools, including malware detection tools and cyber threat tools. Vectra AI has positively impacted my organization. Last year while using it, we received many malicious email threats and virus incidents, including a trojan virus that had reportedly been deployed by someone. Our company used Vectra AI to detect the malicious threats and viruses before they could cause more damage, and we successfully stopped the threats. Using Vectra AI, I notice that server downtime has decreased significantly. We now experience only two to three hours of downtime, whereas without Vectra AI and other tools, our downtime would exceed 48 to 72 hours.
