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.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The artificial intelligence engine."
"It supports most standard log sources."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"We raise a ticket to LogRhythm, and they will give us their support."
"Its benefits are broad. The solution isn't necessarily made to do any one thing, but it can do anything you tell it to. It is able to tackle any different type or size of job."
"LogRhythm SIEM has some valuable features, including its ability to maintain backups of events and manage alerts separately through an engine that handles content and administration tasks."
"The security operation center is excellent."
"I would rate the product a ten out of ten. The solution is very user-friendly and straightforward. The tool's report customization is interesting."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"It is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The user interface is very good."
 

Cons

"More help and assistance with some of the open source products, everything seems to be focused on Windows versus giving some guidance and some documentation on how to use it."
"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
"The installation was a bit complex because we are running a virtual infrastructure."
"Better integration with different services is needed, as there are quite a few platforms that we use that don't integrate very smoothly with LogRhythm."
"I think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."
"I would like to see more integration with more products that are out there within the same security field."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."
"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
