Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We save about 75% percent of our costs by processing network and firewall logs through Cribl."
"The product's most valuable features include the internal management of events, coding perspective, data processing, and serialization."
"What I appreciate the most about Cribl is the free training, the free access to all the training, and how easy it is to learn it."
"Cribl's interface is user-friendly and easy to learn, making it simple to teach new users how to use it."
"When it comes to the product's installation phase, it is not tough for people who have good knowledge...The tool is worth the investment."
"I think it is cost-efficient because overall, after using Cribl, it helps users save cost and time."
"The return on investment with Cribl is huge."
"Cribl handles huge volumes of data exceptionally well."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
 

Cons

"It would be really nice to be able to see Cribl gain insights from the data as the data is in stream, in flight, on the way to wherever its final storage destination is."
"Regarding stability, lagging only happens if I exceed my data analysis stuff, but it is a limitation with Cribl as per their design."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I would say Cribl internal logging has been one of the bottlenecks; that should be enhanced."
"One thing I think is that Cribl is very dependent on the packs. If you don't have packs and you need to do things on your own, it's not trivial."
"However, the endpoint plug-in tool can use some refinement, as it tends to hit system resources and can sometimes be detrimental to systems to the point where it must be turned off and a scan restarted when a user is offline."
"The pricing has been increasing year-over-year, and I understand that the cost of business continues to grow."
"What I dislike about Cribl is that it represents my direct pain point."
"Cribl could improve by offering easier integrations with enterprise products, similar to what Splunk provides."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I would not say it is a cheaply priced tool as it has been doing wonders in the market. The tool has been budget-friendly for organizations."
