I use this solution for security monitoring and user behavior analytics. Banks, governments, and the oil and gas sector utilize it.

The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities. These features are interactive, allowing for comprehensive engagement.

In terms of improvements, SIEM could have better integration with other technologies.

Additionally, it might benefit from integration with other sources, such as firewalls. It all depends on specific use cases.

I have been using the solution for three years.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The system is very scalable, and I would rate it around eight out of ten.

I find customer service to be very good.

The initial setup is not very complex, however, it does have its intricacies, and I would rate it around seven out of ten.

The return on investment depends on the customer. It typically takes at least a year to realize the value.

Comparatively, it is reasonable when compared to solutions like Splunk and Exabeam. Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.

My rating for the solution would be around eight out of ten.

If organizations are on a journey to move to cloud, I recommend transitioning to Securonix over an on-premise solution due to its ease of deployment in cloud.

We use Securonix Next-Gen SIEM primarily for managed SOC, focusing on threat detection, baselining, and ensuring the maturity of our SOC security operations.

It is integrated with threat intelligence and utilizes frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.

The solution helps in threat detection, especially with use cases like brute force attacks, port scans (both horizontal and vertical), other insider threat activities, Privileged access abuse, Ransomware detection and Data exfiltration prevention. We also customize and fine-tune these use cases based on our requirements.

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM has significantly improved the visibility of tools and technologies within the environment.

It enhances our security posture by providing comprehensive oversight of users and devices, aiding in threat detection and prevention.

Additionally, its scalability and ease of onboarding new devices and technologies have streamlined our security operations.

The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities.

The reporting features also require improvements.

Additionally, the multi-tenancy functionality should be enhanced to allow individual consoles for different customers, which is currently a limitation. This feedback has been given to Securonix for future improvements.

I have previous experience with Securonix Next-Gen SIEM for almost three years in deployment management and baselining in my past experience.

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is very stable and reliable, but like any sophisticated security platform, its stability depends on several factors, including deployment architecture, environment, and proper maintenance. It handles billions of logs efficiently, along with the managed service, ensure its reliable performance especially when deployed in the cloud. However, to maintain long-term stability, it's important to ensure the platform is well-resourced, updated regularly, and properly configured. When implemented correctly, Securonix SIEM delivers reliable performance and security monitoring without significant interruptions.

The scalability of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is seamless. We don't have to worry about resource allocation as long as we have the required EPS licenses. The solution is designed to scale according to our needs without any hassle.

Securonix is generally regarded for its strong customer service and support, which is a critical factor in ensuring the success of complex security solutions like SIEM. Overall, Securonix offers solid and responsive support with a team that is technically proficient and helpful, especially in complex deployments. The proactive guidance, customization support, and strong documentation make it easier for organizations to implement and maintain their SIEM effectively. However, for critical issues, it's advisable to escalate promptly and ensure you're engaging the appropriate level of support for your organization's needs.

Prior to Securonix, we evaluated LogRhythm and IBM QRadar. Based on our company’s requirements, reduced operational overhead, lower TCO and improved threat detection Securonix Next-Gen SIEM was the best fit.

The initial setup includes evaluating technology that fits our organizational needs, signing NDAs, scoping, providing inventory, and EPS calculation. Once we procure the licenses, there is an expectation setting for onboarding, followed by workflows for exchanging guides, documents, and prerequisites. After the environment is ready, we proceed with onboarding.

I was closely working with the internal team and the vendor, leading the project. Including me, there were four people involved in the onboarding and baselining part.

From a business point of view, it can be assessed in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The ROI may vary depending on the organization’s size, security needs, and how well the platform is utilized and is highly positive in environments with high compliance requirements, frequent security incidents, or large amounts of data to process. By reducing incidents, improving operational efficiency, and simplifying compliance, the cost savings and protection against expensive breaches can quickly outweigh the initial investment.

The pricing of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is reasonable, especially considering the package they provide. If we went with the same package with another vendor, it would be significantly more expensive. It’s value for money.

Before choosing Securonix, we evaluated LogRhythm and IBM QRadar. Based on our requirements need for more advanced analytics, scalability, better cloud integration, and automated threat detection., Securonix Next-Gen SIEM was found to be the best fit.

My recommendation would be to evaluate the solution precisely based on the company's requirements to avoid scalability issues in the future. Careful calculation of the EPS during initial sizing is crucial as it can become costly to procure additional EPS licenses later.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

From my experience, clients have been enjoying the product because it enables faster threat detection. We use it daily for hunting and developing strategies, which are much more extensive compared to the results from a traditional SIEM.

With Next-Gen SIEM, we are achieving more with less effort. We can gather more information from the logs and organize it in a different product view, which reduces the need for a large workforce. So we can achieve more with fewer people, and this is particularly advantageous in my line of work, where we need to hire additional staff as we sell more products. However, with this kind of solution bringing in more information about threats and improvements for the organization, we can handle the workload with fewer personnel.

The most valuable aspect is the ability to automate tasks, particularly user behavior analytics. It streamlines processes and makes it very efficient to work with, both for me and the users in my company.

I work in Brazil, and the solution is not very well known here. The market for technology in Brazil, not related to the quality of the product, is not very favorable yet. I see this as a challenge. We need to invest more effort in raising awareness and educating people about the product's capabilities.

Additionally, one aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil. It is reasonable, but when compared to similar tools or products that are more common in Brazil, it tends to be a bit higher.

I started to use this solution about two years ago; my company started to work with Next-Gen SIEM.

To say the truth, neither I nor my colleagues who work with me have encountered any complaints about stability. As the leading company in Brazil for Securonix or the biggest seller of Securonix in Brazil, we have had no issues with stability up to this point. It has been very reliable, and there have been no instances of lagging, crashing, or any significant downtime reported.

The solution is highly scalable since it operates in a public cloud environment. This allows us to store and process a large amount of information as needed. The scalability is one of the remarkable qualities of this product, which makes it very effective, especially when we are dealing with substantial data volumes in the cloud.

Since I work in the sales team, I didn't need technical support. My role is mainly focused on discussing and selling the product to customers, highlighting its advantages.

So, if any technical assistance is required, it would be handled by the partner or someone else in the client-facing team. I have mostly been involved in the sales process, and I haven't had the need to engage with the technical support team.

I work with two options for Securonix. I use the Legacy and the Advantage versions. The Advantage option is beneficial because it includes the features of the Legacy version at the price of the Legacy package. However, it gets complicated when dealing with User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UBA) and other additional features. The EPS (Events Per Second) quantity grows significantly, leading to the need for more resources to handle the workload when using UBA and other advanced features.

If Securonix aims to grow more and improve its position in the Brazilian market, it might need to consider adjusting its pricing to be more competitive. Currently, as we work with AI solutions, the price might need to go down to better grow its presence in the Brazilian market.

I believe in the quality of the product, so I would rate the pricing as a seven out of ten, where one is low pricing, and ten is high pricing.

When we talk about SIEM, it's important to understand how it brings the necessary information to the company and how we can apply the right intelligence to extract insights about threats and other relevant aspects. I suggest investing time to clearly define what you want to achieve with the SIEM solution. If you don't have a clear understanding of your objectives, the results may not meet your expectations. Take the time to thoroughly understand your requirements to make the most out of the system.

In my market and environment, I compete with Splunk, QRadar, and IBM. I've also heard about Hexabeam, but it's not a major competitor here in Brazil. Another one we're considering, which has posed some challenges, is Google Chronicle. However, the two biggest competitors for me are Splunk and QRadar.

When comparing Securonix to Splunk, one issue is the pricing; I believe even Securonix is on the higher side. However, in terms of working with cloud environments, Securonix has an advantage as it performs exceptionally well in the cloud. Unlike Splunk, which struggles in cloud setups, Securonix handles it perfectly. Additionally, in terms of crunching work in the database (DB), Securonix performs better and more efficiently than Splunk, making it a better choice for such tasks.

Other products seem to have a more established market presence, and people are familiar with them, but they might not be as acquainted with Securonix. However, I am confident about the quality of Securonix, and when I get the chance to demonstrate how it works, people tend to like it.

Furthermore, in comparison to IBM, I don't encounter any technical problems with Securonix. The quality of Securonix is solid, and I have no issues discussing its capabilities. When it comes to pricing, Securonix offers a more competitive solution. Even if it's only ten percent better than Splunk in some aspects, the overall value makes it a better option in the end. If the price difference is not as significant, it's more likely that customers will choose Securonix over other options.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
