Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
I feed different data points to the tool and review them.  The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place.  I have been working with the product for a few years.  If you have the resources for it, the product is stable. I rate it a ten out of ten.  We use the tool's scalable cloud…

Roughly 800 to 1000 integrations available with various security products and applications and offers built-in SOAR capabilities
The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part. Logpoint has a kind of site to describe what kinds of threats they are investigating. But that, I think, maybe Logpoint can improve more. The threat investigations and reporting to the end-users can be improved. Logpoint can also come up with IR [incident response] capabilities. Other important SIEM solutions have some IR services. If I am an MSSP working with LogPoint for SIEM/SOAR solutions and I need immediate support, I should be able to get some support. It can be paid support, like SecureWorks, which has those kinds of functionalities. They will immediately get in and start working on helping us identify the threats, isolate them, and give us remedies to take care of and recover from any kind of attacks. Whereas in LogPoint, that functionality is missing. We will be on our own if something happens. We will get other support from them, but there's no paid support before taking ownership and helping us recover from those kinds of attacks. They have a kind of integration for AI, but the incident response capability is what they should improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"The solution's user interface is quite simple, and the integration is better than other products."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"In my experience with medium-sized operations, LogPoint's scalability is excellent, so I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."
"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."
"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."
"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
