Lastly, playbook feature maybe too complex for new users. **What problems is Google Security Operations solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps our SOC to reduce the time to investigate and to perform different task/job.

Siemplify Your SIEM Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicholas L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Security Operations?** I like how easy it is to navigate within the Siemplify platform. The User Experience is definitely one of the best. I also like how easy it is to integrate various platforms to work with Siemplify. **What do you dislike about Google Security Operations?** The playbook function could be improved. It is a little complicated to create a playbook at the moment. But it has all the required features. May require additional training to understand and make use of all the features. **Recommendations to others considering Google Security Operations:** For users who are looking for an easy-to-use SIEM, Siemplify is the way to go. It is also packed full of features which will require a dedicated individual or team to fully learn and utilize it at its maximum potential. **What problems is Google Security Operations solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the Orchestration issue that the business is facing. With Siemplify, we are able to integrate a lot of different platforms into a unified process.

New to Siemplify but using for a couple months **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Security Operations?** I like the integrations. We haven't got to enable them much yet but I like the idea of having the playbooks talk to a firewall or AD server to shut down a computer or account. **What do you dislike about Google Security Operations?** The playbooks are great but they can't react to everything from an alert. For instance, I can't have the playbook make a decision based on the process running, that field just isn't an option. I would like for it to be able to display every field that it can read. Also with the company being based out of Israel, there have been times when I'm not able to get an answer for a technical question because it's after-hours there. **Recommendations to others considering Google Security Operations:** This product is new but has a team that listens to suggestions and a frequent update schedule. This product also has integrations with many different vendors and with playbooks can automate many functions. **What problems is Google Security Operations solving and how is that benefiting you?** I think the problems solved will be once we really get the integrations and playbooks going. I think it will really cut down on the things our analysts need to do. ### 36.
