Featured Reviews

Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
Joseph W. - PeerSpot reviewer
Has pre-built pieces for third party vendors and does not take a long time to implement
One of the main features that I like about LogRhythm SIEM is that there are a lot of pre-built pieces. Like with our AV, we didn't have to tell it how to read the logs; they already had it pre-made. So, we essentially just had to follow their guide to get the logs imported in and set up some rules for it. We've only had to manually create the parsing rules for a few of our vendors so that we could interpret the logs correctly. Most of them had already been pre-created for us. We use the Event Log Filtering feature a lot. We use it for simple troubleshooting tasks like when a user is logged out, to more important tasks like trying to investigate a threat. As far as its effect on productivity, we can go and search instead of trying to troubleshoot and guess what is causing an error. We can identify what the program is or where the hiccup is. LogRhythm helped us to identify a lot of blind spots. Originally, we didn't have a SIEM tool. We had auditors say that this is something that we should be doing. My management team asked me to go and find a product, and I researched a bunch of them and found LogRhythm. It really opened our eyes to see how much traffic we have, whether it's other IP addresses that are scanning us or external users trying to hit certain ports that could then get closed. It helped us tighten down some of those firewall rules that may have been left open unintentionally through other changes. It helped us a lot early on to identify who was trying to communicate with us or, essentially, who was trying to attack us. As far as our overall security posture, our SIEM tool was the initial push that really got us going into identifying where all of our threats were. We expanded over the seven years that we've had it, and I implemented at least eight other products that are all security related because the SIEM tool indicated the need to identify other risks. It really helped us as an organization to identify risks and move forward to a more secure environment.
