Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

Advanced threat detection has improved investigations but complexity and resource use need refinement
LogRhythm SIEM could learn from Wazuh, as Wazuh has a built-in mechanism that allows you to write custom scripting and scripts through languages that Wazuh can then trigger, which is somewhat better and more matured in Wazuh compared to LogRhythm SIEM. Additionally, the parsers that I write for LogRhythm SIEM tend to get quite complex for log parsing, while with Wazuh, I can achieve a similar parser with much less complexity. Those are some of the pain points that some of our customers have been expressing. If LogRhythm SIEM could make a lightweight version of their solution, that would be quite competitive because some of my customers have a very large need but refuse to go with LogRhythm SIEM due to its complexity and high resource intensity. Therefore, they have been moved to Wazuh, which I am deploying for them. Even though LogRhythm SIEM has extremely good capabilities, their resource utilization is too heavy for certain customers, so if they could make a separate, lightweight version, that would be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"Has a great search capability."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance, it also works on a virtual machine and we haven't found any issues with it so far, it's been reliable."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"From a performance standpoint, I have no problems recommending LogRhythm because it allows me to get in under the hood and tweak some things."
"It has saved us a lot of time."
"Our security program's maturity has been transformational for my staff."
"The most valuable feature I get out of the LogRhythm platform is being able to take machine data and present it in a format that's easy to understand, easy to analyze, easy to pivot through to get answers to the questions that I had that I'm investigating, whether they're security related or operationally related."
"The AI Engine can take an event and correlate it into something else giving us meaningful context regarding what is going on. We integrated it in with our ticketing system, so if an alarm fires, it raises a ticket in our system."
"I would recommend NextGen SIEM to other users as it is a leading solution with new features at a better price than competitors like Splunk and QRadar."
"LogRhythm SIEM gives us a sense of confidence that, during an investigation, it's a solid source of information that we can use to complement the investigation or perhaps complete the entire investigation within the SIEM."
"Going from a third-party vendor to an in-house solution, such as the LogRhythm solution, has given us visibility into the entire organization, compared to the limitations, based on budget and whatnot, from a third-party vendor."
 

Cons

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"The EBA could be improved."
"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"For me it would be the efficiency and signing up and standing up systems, as well as a little bit cleaner on case management."
"Their ticketing system for managing cases can be improved. The current system works and gets the job done, but it is very bare-bones and basic."
"Just integration into our ticketing system, which we're using service now."
"The largest room for improvement would be inside the web platform, being able to have a longer log live time."
"Logging improvements. I think that the template to reporting is just difficult, it's hard to go back."
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM."
"The software needs to work on its pricing."
"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"The support which allows more customized to the environment when we are deploying new systems is called Professional Service and is very expensive. The technical annual support and there is an annual fee."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"I would recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
