New Relic vs. Securonix Next-Generation SIEM

Wanting to have a developer friendly application that is highly extensible to help monitor and ensure high application availability, I believe New Relic is the best in class. As teams grow and if you want all engineers to have access to New Relic the pricing can get very expensive and would require working with your account rep to try and get a contract in place that fits business needs.

The best part of Securonix is it's architecture which makes it scalable and allows it to add any new feature to match the requirement. Securonix is well suited for enterprises who are mid to large size and are looking for a quick time to value, do not want to put upfront capex and invest less on the service layer. It becomes little costly for a small sized organisation.

• gives us an monitoring of all our underlying servers and also we can configure some alerts upon them like CPU and memory alerts.
• Kubernetes cluster monitoring with new relic for EKS gives us and minute details of our cluster utilisation like node usage, pods memory request and limits
• Network traceability for each and every request with response time analysis is great we can trace which component is responsible for generating response delay
• log managements of the logs the infrastructure is generating we can view logs through there only

• A robust automated response mechanism via Playbooks.
• Thorough documentation on search query syntax.
• Built-in Graph/chart creation based on query results.
• A quick and responsive support team.

• I would like to see sort of simulator inside the user interface, that way we can send requests directly from it to test some configuration instead of setting up a test environment in our end.
• It would be nice if the data ingestion can be filtered by APM's. That way we can know which application is ingested most data.
• It would be nice if we could ingest logs (apache, system logs, and other logs) and correlate them with the APM.

• There is a steep learning curve for the platform.
• Developing your own analytics can be challenging due to the depth and complexity of the analytics engine.

The only issue that we have had with New Relic is that the price might be a little expensive for smaller companies. The amount of data you store in New Relic impacts the cost, and can get away from you if you don't work closely with the vendor. Overall though the application is top notch.

As an engineer, New Relic has been very quick and easy for me to pick up/install/use. It has been less easy for some of the less technical-minded folks in our organization and their UI still is inconsistent multiple years after refactoring their platform to be New Relic One.

Securonix Next-Generation SIEM provides loads of features that can be utilized as per business requirements. With the Securonix Jupyter update, the feature set is fine tuned for efficient implementation. The SOAR platform will complete the product for automated response on top of the alerting capabilities. The primary factor for selecting a SIEM will include the support model. While implementing and currently using Securonix Next-Generation SIEM in our environment, we have experienced the best support provided by the SIEM team in all aspects.

There are times I feel that the initial support is lacking. And in some cases the automated responses of not hearing anything are annoying if the reason why there has been no movement is because we are still waiting to hear back from NR support. So, i think they should loose the automation as it can seem disingenuous

Securonix acts with urgency to support day to day operational issues & queries and shows a real commitment to us as a partner. I rate this an 8 because there are still some bumps in the road, instances where communications can be sparse or unclear.

It's better to start by implementing New Relic in one project and test everything. Try to follow best recommended practices and read all the official documentation. Everything seems well tested. Then, start by installing agents to the rest of your projects and keep a close look to all logs and metrics New Relic gives you.

• New Relic's APM is better than Datadog. Has better traces, and dashboards.
• The Apdex based alerts are accurate and work predictably even at a large scale.
• New Relic can become expensive as the volume of data ingested grows.
• Datadog has better dashboards and cross-service maps.

We selected New Relic because of better APM capabilities, and our teams ease of usage

It's easy to scale. However, it isn't as easy to keep track of costs and who own's what/

I have worked with the Securonix PS team and they have done a good job so far.

• New Relic has assisted to identify and solve several production issues and outages within minutes instead of hours and days.
• New Relic monitoring helped in proactive monitoring and helped to achieve better uptime and customer experience.
• New Relic APM assisted the Technology team to debug the functional and performance issues faster and hence made their work more effective.
