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.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"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."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management. Because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"The artificial intelligence engine."
"Overall effectiveness is very good. I like how it is oriented to both analysts and technical support people. It's easily adopted by end users as much as by technologists."
"In general, the visibility of events and advanced analysis of events are good."
"We raise a ticket to LogRhythm, and they will give us their support."
"The ability for me to go into the Web UI, and just learn what's going on in my environment."
"The PCI compliance pieces that help us produce reports for our external auditor, and their support."
 

Cons

"The price could be lower."
"The integration could improve."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The integration is slightly difficult with other assets, like EDR technologies or firewalls."
"I would like to see case management become more independent from LogRhythm itself."
"Technical support could use a little work in the terms of responding back. The feedback that we received is they do need a little more staff."
"I don't think the cloud model in LogRhythm is developed enough."
"Only area I can think of to improve on is the proof reading and using the guides before releasing them. Out the the 20+ guides I used one had issues with wrong information in it."
"Parsing is totally controlled by LogRhythm and they do not allow any partner or any third-party to handle this part and this is a key challenge on my end."
"We use Windows Event Forwarding to collect the logs from our Windows clients, and the logs get aggregated as one data source on that collector. Therefore, finding logs specific to one particular Windows system requires some creativity in how we search the SIEM."
"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
