Pros and cons

Vijilan has been a great partner from the very start. They listen to our needs and truly help and want us to be successful.
Everyone I've interacted with is passionate about the software and want to ensure their customers are satisfied and understand everything they're getting and what's going on.
The support team is fantastic and responsive when needed, point is that we never need them.
Sometimes slow response from SOC to receive the answer. Unable to monitor the devices where Threat Sensor is not visible (remote computers).
Can be annoying for cloud-only, or born in the cloud SMBs. Also requires onsite presence so we can't fully deploy behind the scenes.
Some of the alerts can be a bit noisy and don't always give the most detailed information.

Eye-opening threat insights!

Reviewed 2 years ago

Everybody at Vijilan has been very helpful throughout our setup and usage of the product.

Pros

This product opened our eyes to security events which we would have never caught without a SIEM like this parsing through our vast event logs for us.

Cons

Sometimes generating exceptions so common false-positives do not generate events can feel tedious. Not a serious issue though.

Great Value -

Reviewed 3 years ago

The support team is fantastic and responsive when needed, point is that we never need them.

Pros

The software (collector), dashboard, and reports are what is expected. Great system for keeping track of alerts, responding, and closing. Very flexible on the collection of logs

Cons

One of two things, Vijilan is doing a fantastic job of reducing noise (that's the pro) or reducing too much noise (that's the con). This is interesting; the con could also be a pro. I always feel like I should do a fire drill from time to time (which is a good idea on any platform) to confirm everything is working.

Vendor response

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback. We agree with you that having a noisy system and a lot of false positives can hinder investigations. I'm glad to hear that our team is doing a great job at reducing the false positives. Our incident response team enjoys working with you and your team. Vijilan team Ps. If you and your clients ever want to optimize their log management tools like Humio, drop us a line. Vijilan's team converts log management tools to have SIEM capabilities. https://www.vijilan.com/humio/ Vijilan team

Great SEIM/SOC solution for small to medium businesses

Reviewed 3 years ago

The experience has been great. They work closely with their partners, take their feedback seriously and continuously listen to suggestions. They fill a very important role and niche in the cyber security stack for SMB and MSP partners

Pros

We love that Vijilan offers a price effective SEIM/SOC solution for our managed service clients. It allows us to offer a solution to problems (compliance, regulation, general security log monitoring) that can be very expense for SMBs.

Cons

Requires a footprint in the environment, such as a virtual appliance. Can be annoying for cloud-only, or born in the cloud SMBs. Also requires onsite presence so we can't fully deploy behind the scenes

Vendor response

Thank you, Ben! We truly appreciate your partnership. You and your team have helped us tremendously to Improve our product. Our SOC and Support really enjoy the interactions. Based on your suggestions, we have developed cloud connectors to collect logs from cloud applications such as Office 365 and EDR like SentinelOne, Cylance, Symantec, Sophos and others. You don't need to install any additional...

Great affordable SIEM solution

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall it has been great, they have a great development road map and it is very affordable for a SIEM/SOC

Pros

We love the SOC function that allows us more time to complete other IT initiative, knowing that there is a SOC team managing the alerts

Cons

I wish there was more reporting features that allowed us to pull logs at will, without having to request it, in a ticket

Vendor response

Hi Simon, Our product team really enjoys working with you. You have contributed quite a bit to our product roadmap. We really enjoy working with you and your tream. By the way, we have over 100 reports that you can run or schedule to run anytime you want. They are available in the link below.

Informative alerts with help just around the corner

Reviewed 3 years ago

It's been a changing and ever-growing partnership. It's been great watching the product grow and improve over the years. Everyone I've interacted with is passionate about the software and want to ensure their customers are satisfied and understand everything they're getting and what's going on. The support and discussions we're able to have directly with the team is extremely valuable

Pros

I like the amount of detail in the tickets, so I know what the issue is/where I need to review with just a glance. It then goes into greater detail at the bottom in case I need more

Cons

Some of the alerts can be a bit noisy and don't always give the most detailed information

Vendor response

Hi Ian, Our SOC team really enjoys working with you and your team. Your feedbacks have helped us improve our product significantly. We are lucky to have partners like you! Vijilan team

Great Partner!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Vijilan has been a great partner and really helped us increase information security with our clients. Primarly in education there is not a lot of money and information security is often the last priority so having a partner that allows us to provide a great service and a great price is invaluable.

Pros

Vijilan has been a great partner from the very start. They listen to our needs and truly help and want us to be successful.

Cons

They are always improving and have quickly addresses any issues we have ran across and added tons of features that were missing at the start of our partnership.

It's all about SIEM and SOC for MSPs

Reviewed 3 years ago

Great SOC and sales team.

Pros

I like the deployment and peace of mind for my techs. Vijilan does all the heavy lifting for running a 24/7 Security Operations and manage SIEM for my organization. I don't have to purchase SIEM or set up a SOC. simple and fair pricing.

Cons

I like to purchase longer retention than 7 years.

Vendor response

Dear Rob, All of us at Vijilan want to thank you for being such an awesome partner. Tim, vCISO, and Charlie, CTO, from your organization worked very closely with our SOC, Support, and product team to build a product that fits the MSPs. Your experience as an MSP, Cyber security, and working with regulated industries, contributed significantly to our improved product. Our incident response team enjoys working with your team. The new pricing structure has allowed our partners to include it in their security stack. We are very happy that all their clients are now being monitored The new pricing structure that you helped us build is published here: https://www.vijilan.com/newpricing/
