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

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""I like the tool's user analysis feature.""Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log.""We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations.""Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall.""The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​""The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

Cons
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs.""The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel.""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.""The configuration is not optimal.""A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product.""The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability.""The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."

More Google Chronicle Suite Cons →

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in.""The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules.""Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one.""I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
  • "We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
  • "The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
  • "Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
  • More Google Chronicle Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

    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.

    Parsing hundreds of trivial alerts. Managing a mountain of data. Manually forwarding info from your endpoints. Forget that. InsightIDR instantly arms you with the insight you need to make better decisions across the incident detection and response lifecycle, faster.
