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's interface is user-friendly and easy to learn, making it simple to teach new users how to use it."
"There are no complaints, but it has been a very good experience using Cribl."
"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, and those ingest costs have basically canceled out the pricing of Cribl licensing for us based on the volume of data that we have."
"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."
"Mostly because of the positive reasons, I would say it is easy to use, it is sustainable, the support is nice, the coding is quite easy to understand, there are a lot of functionalities there, you can do a lot of things, and the data migration is very easy."
"Cribl's ability to contain data cost and complexity is actually very good."
"Cribl is one of the best data pipelining platforms, and with all the features that have been upgraded over the past three years, it has been seamless."
"Cribl is specifically designed to reduce the data costs associated with the destination platform, which is one of its core offerings."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"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

"Their documentation should be updated."
"The current engineer certification is quite rigorous and not easy to pass."
"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."
"On the other hand, I would like to see improvements in pack management, which is currently a mess with no way to manage packs differently across worker groups."
"The reason I would not give it a ten is mainly due to the learning curve and initial complexity, especially for new users."
"One improvement opportunity exists with Git integration."
"I think it is a bit expensive. I heard that this might be expensive."
"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 correlation suite needs to be improved."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"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."
"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."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
 

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