Q&A Highlights
Question: What SOC product do you recommend?
Answer: I haven't used these big-name ones like Splunk etc. but I feel they're overpriced. I think they charge an arm and a leg for each module. The ROI justification is not there. Why not try a cheaper and robust alternative like Elasticsearch?

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection.""The solution is easy to implement.""The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability.""Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing.""The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company.""The most valuable feature is the log monitoring.""The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature.""This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."

"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.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable.""Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling.""The solution's initial setup is easy.""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."

Cons
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness.""There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console.""I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation.""The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added.""It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow.""It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex.""Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done.""Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."

More ArcSight Analytics Cons →

"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.""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already.""Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA).""The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

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."

    Apache Metron, ELK, OSSIM, Splunk and Qradar (in cost/benefit order for starters).

    I have no experience with Rapid 7 or InsightIDR. 


    IBM Qradar works great but is not easy to install. If it is running it is a great tool. Also depending on the budget, Riverbed security is a tool to consider. Costs are lower than QRadar and easier to implement. 


    Or you can use our SaaS solution with QRadar and a lot more built-in. One holistic solution for your complete IT environment.

    @Evgeny Belenky, ​ I found Stellar to be quite intriguing. 


    I would also recommend McAFee’s new console for centralizing and coordinating a well-deployed enterprise solution.

    Disclaimer: ICE Consulting offers SOC as a Service to our Clients.


    For SOC Tools we use Securonix and other in-house developed solutions. Securonix provides an all in one package (SIEM, UEBS, & NTA) that we believe is competitively priced for the Small to Mid Market. Their Customer Service seems better than most and they are always highly rated in the Gartner MQ reports. Set-up is not difficult, but is time consuming for the first time, afterwards each client deployment we have added has seemed to get easier and quicker.


    Please contact several vendors and ask for demos, talk with the vendor engineers to ensure the solution will workfor your needs... We evaluated Rapid7, AlienVault (ATT Cybersecurity), QRadar, LogRythm, and Securonix before deciding on Securonix. 


    Also take your time in evaluating and re-evaluating the products, I took us about about 18 months and over $30K of working with what was utimately the wrong product for us, before moving to Securonix.


    Make sure training for the use of the service is included.  We have been able to provide entensive training to out team through the vendor and would not have been able to get out SOC offering off the ground without it.


    Good Luck!

    COMODO SOC covers your entire network and also your email. It is very easy to deploy and is very effective for reports.

    I prefer the COMODO SOC solution because it is a very good and easy to deploy product.
