Advanced threat hunting has improved visibility and has simplified custom query automation
CrowdStrike is ahead of the game. If I may say anything about Falcon LogScale to improve the services, I would talk about the way you develop parsers. The documentation should be more straightforward. It is not easy to quickly find the documentation, especially if you are using CrowdStrike. Most customers use Falcon LogScale because of CrowdStrike. The documentation of Falcon LogScale is not on the CrowdStrike portal just like the rest of Falcon documentation. I usually find that the main Falcon LogScale documentation is found on the Falcon LogScale website itself. I think there should be a link or direct documentation within the CrowdStrike pages. It is not necessarily a fault. If you find where the documentation resides, you can trace it to what they are doing. However, for the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.

Log analysis has become clearer and faster but visualization and extensibility still need work
The problem was with the complexity and the cost to add extensions. We found this very expensive to buy another version with additional features. I think that Graylog Enterprise does not have customizable dashboards. I did not see them in Graylog Enterprise because most of the time we used the open source free version, which is limited. I think Graylog Enterprise should improve some things that they have in the paid version and perhaps provide users with a menu that gives examples of parsing logs and draws graphics so that people do not need to improve another system such as Grafana. This would be interesting. When it comes to functionalities, I found the log management in Graylog Enterprise acceptable. It is very simple to use and to collect logs. It has support for different protocols and different ports, and the sidecar is easy to use. However, in visualization, I think it needs to be much better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"The workflows which are inbuilt, having inbuilt templates to utilize and automate the use cases, is the most useful part."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"Falcon LogScale has been rock solid in terms of stability."
"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"I would consider myself Graylog2's number one fan or at least a big advocate of the utility of this product."
"I know that there are other similar tools available, but I enjoy using Graylog the most."
"Open source and user friendly."
"It is easier to find some issues, and if I find some issues, then it is easier to resolve them."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"The Graylog features that have proven to be most beneficial for our data analysis in particular are that we tend to use it as a big data store, so we have the correlation rules that, if something matches under certain conditions, it raises an alarm."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
 

Cons

"There are significant improvements needed. When running Falcon LogScale for extended periods, it sometimes cannot send data to CrowdStrike's XDR system."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"The price is, without question, very costly for any organization that has more than 1,000 or 2,000 users."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The price could be lower."
"The main area for improvement in Falcon LogScale is the learning curve for the query language."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"One more point about areas for improvement is the visualization depth. Splunk, which I used, has very good visualization compared to Falcon LogScale."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"More customization is always useful."
"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"When it comes to configuring the processing pipeline, writing the rules can be very tedious, especially since the documentation isn't extensive on how the functions provided for these rules work."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature.​"
"I would rate them as a two out of 10. You are on your own without an enterprise license."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you want something that works and do not have the money for Splunk or QRadar, take Graylog.​​"
"Having paid official support is wise for projects."
"We're using the Community edition."
"Consider Enterprise support if you have atypical needs or setup requirements.​"
"I am using a community edition. I have not looked at the enterprise offering from Graylog."
"There is an open source version and an enterprise version. I wouldn't recommend the enterprise version, but as an open source solution, it is solid and works really well."
"We are using the free version of the product. However, the paid version is expensive."
"It's open source and free. They have a paid version, but we never looked into that because we never needed the features of the paid version."
