Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses."
"The language used for content creation is very flexible and visually appealing."
"I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The support team is responsive."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not complex."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."

"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
 

Cons

"Google Chronicle Suite lacks near time detection. There is a delay of about twenty minutes between logs coming in and an alert being generated. This timeframe, while seemingly short, can have significant implications in the event of a critical issue."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The functionalities for parsing and including feeds need improvement."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"It is still not mature enough. If I create some content, there might be roadblocks, although this could change in the future."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"The scalability is limited."

"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
