Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.1
Cribl reduces data ingestion costs and improves efficiency, resulting in significant ROI with up to 70% log reduction.
Sentiment score
6.7
Logpoint ensures compliance, cost predictability, and security, offering 40% ROI and fulfilling Department of Defense contract needs.
What we've seen is really an overall reduction of just shy of 40% in our ingest into our SIM platform versus prior to having Cribl.
Senior Security Engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees
The second thing is that data aggregation, sampling, and reduction that we're able to do of the data, lowering our overall data volume, both traversing the network as well as what's being stored inside of our final solutions.
Director, Performance Engineering at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
In terms of reduction, we were able to save almost ~40% of our total cost.
Sr. Lead Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
Cribl's customer service is praised for its expertise, though some users seek quicker response times and better understanding of needs.
Sentiment score
7.3
Logpoint's customer service is improving, but response times and communication barriers lead to varied user experiences worldwide.
They had extensive expertise with the product and were able to facilitate everything we needed.
Security Consultant at Integrity360
Usually, within an hour, we get a response, and we are able to work with them back and forth until we resolve the issues.
Engineering Fellow at Pegasystems
Sometimes by hearing the problem itself, they will know what the solution is, and they will let us know how to resolve it, and we do it immediately.
Senior Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Logpoint's customer support is not sufficient with only one engineer in the US.
Cyber Security Analyst at Pacific Propeller
The technical support for Logpoint is very good, and I would rate it as nine out of ten.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
I recommend a submission to Logpoint because I worked with it before.
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Cribl is praised for scalable, flexible data management, efficiently integrating diverse sources while minimizing operational complexity and maintaining performance.
Sentiment score
7.2
LogPoint's modular design ensures effective scalability across enterprise environments, integrating seamlessly and handling growth efficiently with high user ratings.
The infrastructure behind Cribl Search is also scalable as it uses a CPU and just spawns horizontally more instances as it demands and requires.
Engineering Fellow at Pegasystems
Compared to other SIEM tools I use, any slight change on the operating system end impacts a lot on our SIEM tools and other things, but Cribl performs well in that regard.
Senior Software Engineer at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Cribl performs effectively across both market segments.
Principal at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
It is web-based and accommodates the expansion of our organization.
Cyber Security Analyst at Pacific Propeller
Logpoint is scalable and capable of expanding.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Cribl is praised for reliability and scalability, though some users face occasional performance issues and downtimes.
Sentiment score
6.4
Logpoint offers stable performance on adequate hardware but faces issues with limited resources, occasional bugs, and diverse log handling.
Migrating from those SC4S servers to Cribl worker nodes has truly been a game-changer.
Sr. Lead Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Regarding scalability, we started with zero servers and have around 285 servers now.
Senior Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cribl is designed to deal with certain kinds of loads and is not designed to handle any scenario in the market.
Security Delivery Senior Analyst at Accenture
I have received reports indicating glitches and downtimes with Logpoint.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Cribl needs improved performance, better Git integration, and enhanced usability to address user experience and scalability concerns.
Logpoint faces challenges in integration, user experience, and support, requiring improvements in detection, deployment, and interface customization.
A more stringent role-based access control feature would enhance security and allow granular control over what users can see and access.
Manager for Monitoring and Logging at Velera
When passing query logs or DNS logs, if certain malicious query patterns need to be identified or if fast-flux attacks are happening, Cribl can report that and those would definitely be a plus for them.
Product Manager at UnDisclosed
I would advise others looking to implement Cribl that if they are evolving Cribl Search, it would be very interesting to see more capability, more flexibility, and more ways to share the data similar to Splunk.
Senior Manager at Deloitte
Dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
Cyber Security Analyst at Pacific Propeller
Logpoint needs to be cloud-native, as currently, it is not.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
Logpoint's UEBA is a weak point, while Exabeam's UEBA has extra AI through automation.
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
 

Setup Cost

Cribl offers cost-effective pricing and efficient large data handling, attracting enterprises despite slightly higher costs than competitors.
Logpoint offers affordable, transparent pricing with fixed and subscription options, remaining competitive compared to other SIEM solutions.
Over time, the licensing cost has increased.
SIEM Engineer at National Australia Bank (NAB)
It was cheaper than the Splunk license.
Security Engineering Programme Manager at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
Splunk is more expensive, and Cribl appears to be more affordable.
Principal at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
I rate the pricing at eight, suggesting it's relatively good or affordable.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
 

Valuable Features

Cribl offers intuitive UI, real-time data transformation, seamless integration, cost savings, flexible processing, and versatile deployment for efficient data management.
Logpoint excels with advanced logging, user-friendly interface, cost-effective pricing, and integrates UEBA and SOAR in one package.
The data reduction and preprocessing capabilities make Cribl really unique.
Security Consultant at Integrity360
Cribl has a feature called JSON Unroll or Unroll function that allows you to differentiate the events; each event will come ingested as a single log instead of piling it up with multiple events.
Security Engineer at Tecplix
The Cribl UI is very simple and easy to use, particularly when working with data from various sources; it makes it very easy to create pipelines, add complex logic to those pipelines, and then gives you a preview of what your data looks like before applying that pipeline and what you get after.
Senior Security Engineer at a university with 10,001+ employees
The UEBA enables us to monitor at the device level, and SOAR provides playbooks and templates that we can modify and incorporate into the platform.
Cyber Security Analyst at Pacific Propeller
It effectively facilitates logging and log storage and assists in security event management by ingesting security events.
CEO at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
The most valuable feature, which is endpoint security, is included in Logpoint, and an extra feature is the integration.
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited

JigarHirani - PeerSpot reviewer
Splunk Engineer at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
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.
Rifat Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
Has lacked proper integration and consistent support communication
I selected Logpoint for the pricing as it is reasonable. I am located in Bangladesh, South Asia, Dhaka. I have tried to contact Exabeam by mail repeatedly, but there has been no response. My company, Corporate Projukti Limited, including my Bangladesh area head, technical director, and team manager, have sent emails to contact Exabeam solution, but there is no response. There is already a distributor in Bangladesh. The weakness with Logpoint is UEBA. UEBA is recommended, but not extra. Exabeam's UEBA is an extra feature. SOAR is extra, but Logpoint's product measurement is 40 or 50. There is a 10% difference with the UEBA and SOAR, so Logpoint is weak there. I would appreciate extra features in Logpoint such as SOAR. SOAR and UEBA are included features in Logpoint. Logpoint's UEBA is a weak point, while Exabeam's UEBA has extra AI through automation. Exabeam has a license included, and the extra license is an add-on. In Logpoint, it is included, which makes it a weak point.
