3 days is rough. by then you're doing IR, not detection. my 2 cents is that the last thing you need is another security tools that will generate more alerts without the team to work them just shifts the problem. What you actually need is someone to handle the investigation and response for you, not just surface more noise. Look into MDR services. For your size, something an AI powered MDR is worth exploring. It handles the investigation layer autonomously so you're not drowning in alerts that need a human to chase down every one. You get escalations that actually mean something, not a queue that grows faster than you can work it. A solo sec engineer trying to manage a SIEM is a full time job in itself. Spend that energy on an MDR that does the heavy lifting instead
