Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities.""The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience.""The log folder is fairly simple.""The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well.""What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool.""The support team is responsive.""Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs.""The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."

More Google Chronicle Suite Pros →

"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis.""Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data.""The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs.""I am satisfied with the support.""Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great.""The graph visualization is the most valuable feature.""Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security.""We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."

Cons
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs.""The configuration is not optimal.""The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel.""The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability.""The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly.""In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners.""The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now.""A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."

More Google Chronicle Suite Cons →

"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex.""The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do.""The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code.""Splunk ES could have more pre-built integrations and rules. The detection is fairly accurate, but it depends on the rules you create. Splunk's out-of-the-box configuration isn't that useful.""While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin.""Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes.""While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged.""The product is relatively expensive."

    Overview

    The Security Operations suite for the modern SOC - detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats with speed, scale, and precision.

    How Chronicle works:
    1. Collection - Chronicle ingests your own data into a private container at petabyte scale with 1-year retention.
    2. Detection - all of that data is aggregated, normalized, and linked with OOTB detections and threat intelligence.
    3. Investigation - that data is then exposed via case management, sub-second search, collaboration, and contextual mapping.
    4. Response - rapid response times occur via automated playbooks, incident management, and closed-loop feedback.
