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.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cribl handles huge volumes of data exceptionally well."
"The capability to reduce logs in a user-friendly manner is a standout feature. Cribl allows us to view logs live as they are being processed, giving us quick feedback on the changes made."
"My favorite feature of Cribl is just how easy it makes working with the data; it's always been a pain point for us with other solutions, just taking our raw data from the source, transforming and manipulating it into what we need on the SIM side."
"Cribl is excellent for scalability, as it is good overall for pipeline maintaining, horizontal scaling, distributed architecture, parallel pipelines, and load balancing."
"The deployment was smooth across all seven projects I have, everything was in place with documents and step-by-step guidance readily available, and Cribl support is very good because whenever we got stuck, we just needed to open a ticket and the support team was very responsive and helped us get the deployment done quickly."
"The best feature in Cribl, when getting logs from some custom application, is the ability to break up logs that pile up together and come as one event."
"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."
"My favorite option in Cribl is the Stream product."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
 

Cons

"Cribl is a very costly product. People nowadays have started considering alternative solutions."
"Cribl's initial setup is quite complex."
"Data cost is a concern, as Cribl charges for everything it sees rather than everything it processes."
"I think the pricing for Cribl is acceptable, but it may not be feasible for a lot of companies in the Netherlands since you need a huge starting license."
"There is room for improvement in Cribl, as managing data from around forty thousand servers can become complex."
"I think it is a bit expensive. I heard that this might be expensive."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I would say Cribl internal logging has been one of the bottlenecks; that should be enhanced."
"We encountered some issues with the syslog data stream, particularly with handling large databases and extensive data logs."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
