Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.0
LogRhythm SIEM is generally stable and reliable, with improvements and effective support despite occasional hardware and high log volume issues.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace users desire better pricing, UI simplicity, monitoring, integrations, analytics, legacy support, automation, data export, and platform compatibility.
LogRhythm SIEM needs better third-party integration, ease of use, performance enhancements, superior support, and improved scalability and cloud integration.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace offers advanced features with complex, high-cost pricing, varying by infrastructure size, but provides trials for suitability assessment.
LogRhythm SIEM offers competitive, transparent pricing with flexible licensing and premium enterprise features, justifying its higher cost.
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace provides comprehensive performance monitoring and optimization with AI-driven insights and seamless integration across cloud and hybrid environments.
LogRhythm SIEM offers AI-driven threat detection, easy dashboards, compliance reporting, and scalable log integration for enhanced network security.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.

Featured Reviews

Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Mokhammad Rakhman - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly dashboard and machine learning capabilities improve threat hunting efficiency
LogRhythm SIEM has strong machine-learning capabilities with behavioral rules and analysis. The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient. Analytics and behavioral analysis help me save time with rule creation. Its scalability allows me to add components as needed. Overall, LogRhythm SIEM offers end-to-end visibility with a reasonable price.
