Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.

Centralized threat triage has improved endpoint control but still needs better cloud insights
Trellix Helix Connect can definitely be improved, especially regarding cloud and SaaS telemetry gaps. It could enhance its native cloud and SaaS telemetry integration. Additionally, sometimes when we open the details of a file, it lacks meta fields altogether, and we must manually ask the user for the meta fields, such as when the file was created, last opened, last updated, and its hash value. Helix does not perform as expected in this regard. There are also many false positives flagged that should not be, and there is no on-premises option for FireEye Helix. Lastly, the GUI and dashboard feel very old-school and legacy, needing improvement, as all competitors have far superior GUIs and UI/UX interfaces. I would add that we have experienced specific problems with session timeouts where we randomly log out from the system after some time and face issues in logging back in. This required us to contact customer service frequently, which is also not very reliable or prompt.
