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 has been rock solid in terms of stability."
"Falcon LogScale improves our organization by giving centralized visibility across endpoints and logs, enabling faster threat detection, real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and efficient incident response for the SOC team."
"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."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"Falcon LogScale offers the best features, particularly in its ease of setup."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"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."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"Open source and user friendly."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"Graylog is valuable because it bridges technical knowledge to non-technical teams, presenting complex backend processes in a simple timeline."
"Feature-wise or from the end user perspective, Graylog is just great."
"The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
 

Cons

"The price could be lower."
"There are significant improvements needed. When running Falcon LogScale for extended periods, it sometimes cannot send data to CrowdStrike's XDR system."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"The integration could improve."
"That is a difficult question regarding Falcon LogScale. That is really a question for the professionals, and I am not a professional, so I do not know."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The main area for improvement in Falcon LogScale is the learning curve for the query language."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"The alerting system could be more flexible."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"The technical support is a weak point in this product. It's not so easy to contact them and they don't answer immediately."
"I would rate them as a two out of 10. You are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"For Python developers, it would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Having paid official support is wise for projects."
"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."
"Graylog is a free open-source solution. The free version has a capacity limitation of 2 GB daily, if you want to go above this you have to purchase a license."
"If you want something that works and do not have the money for Splunk or QRadar, take Graylog.​​"
"​You get a lot out-of-the-box with the non-enterprise version, so give it a try first."
"I am using a community edition. I have not looked at the enterprise offering from Graylog."
"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."
