Aruna Udawatte - PeerSpot reviewer
Network visibility improves with centralized maintenance and responsive support
The single point of maintenance and dashboards are the strong points of Cisco XDR ( /categories/extended-detection-and-response-xdr ). The visibility of the network is the main valuable feature. Customers frequently request features that offer better system visibility. The solution also offers automated response capability, which I would rate around eight out of ten.
Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support from Cisco is good and very helpful."
"Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall."
"Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
 

Cons

"They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense."
"One area that needs improvement is the limited visibility due to the licensing structure. For more visibility, customers need the advantage or premier licensing, which involves additional costs."
"They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."

"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
