Shaik Shaheer - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly commendable and robust solution offering powerful features and comprehensive log data management
It allows us to efficiently manage and store our data. Its compression and archiving features not only reduce storage costs but also minimize the infrastructure resources needed for data backup. Since we have multiple security solutions in place, it allows us to streamline data handling. We can selectively send security-related events to the SIEM while directing other non-security events from various tools to Falcon LogScale. This flexibility ensures that we have access to all the data we need when required, and we can easily export this data from it as necessary, optimizing our data management and making it readily available for analysis or other purposes.

Easy configuration and great user behaviour analysis and automation
The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions that need a special team dedicated to configure and extract reports. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorizes different types of data: cold, warm, and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. It studies the user behavior and if there is unusual traffic is recorded from a user, the solution flags it very effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"Currently, we are in the implementation phase. LogRhythm is better than QRadar from the point of view of collecting Windows events. It has a much higher view. You can enable monitoring by default."
"The ability to investigate a particular period of time where you can analyze logs is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"This solution has improved our organization in many different ways. The biggest benefit is being able to view all information in one dashboard instead of having to look at several different applications and dashboards. I can see information across our entire environment and every aspect of our network."
"The GUI is very intuitive and the solution has good integration."
"What I found most valuable in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's user-friendly. I also like its dashboard, which shows all the logs and information I want to see."
"The most valuable features of the solution are network monitoring, user behavior analytics, and log collection."
"We have to be able to show the evidence, and LogRhythm does a great job of putting it forward and making it easy to create reports with nice looking dashboards, which show off what we are doing as a security program."
 

Cons

"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The integration could improve."
"The price could be lower."
"LogRhythm SIEM needs improvement in data grouping and manipulation capabilities."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We need to get better training for things like creating code and playlists. The way it's done now takes a long time."
"For our market, the solution is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could work on and improve their existing pricing plans to help make it more affordable in our country."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"We would like to see more things out of the console into the web UI. I guess this is what they are doing in 7.4."
"It's not easy for someone new to the solution."
"LogRhythm SIEM can improve its user interface. The current interface is quite complex and can be challenging to navigate. While it offers many valuable features, understanding how to access and utilize them efficiently takes time. Simplifying the client console's user interface would significantly enhance the user experience and make it more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. As it comes out new features and new releases, the window is becoming a lot narrower because you can pivot a lot more with the data. Therefore, the new features and enhancements are reducing that."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"Look closely at the cost of licensing of other products. This should include setups and the need for support services. I did a RFQ to 2 other vendors before choosing this product."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
