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.

Feature rich, useful web log collection, but support could improve
We have a PCI DSS standard environment and a centralized login server. We are using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for all of the logins. We have the firewalls, such as Fortinet, and many other devices sending their logs through this solution The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"Alarms are the most valuable feature. We also like the dashboard and how things are at your fingertips. The fact that we can now edit the report templates is going to be a great thing."
"The GUI is very intuitive and the solution has good integration."
"We now have a central point of monitoring for all potential threats."
"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"When it comes to dealing with support, all my interactions have been great. Everyone has known what they're doing and have been quick to respond. They seem to always know the answer. I haven't stumped anybody yet."
"The ability to investigate a particular period of time where you can analyze logs is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that we can alternate incident automations."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The user interface is very good."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"It is stable."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
 

Cons

"LogRhythm's SOAR and NDR features don't stack up well against competitors. maybe integrating theme functionality as the other do. But in general, it's okay."
"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."
"Sometimes the Platform Manager crashes because it's built around Windows."
"LogRhythm SIEM needs improvement in data grouping and manipulation capabilities."
"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and CheckPoint OPSec Lea."
"The pricing is the only problem."
"NextGen SIEM has separate rules for AI, advanced intelligence, and MP rules - it would be better to have a centralized way to write the rules and create alarms."
"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."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"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 scalability is limited."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"I have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. We went from not detecting them to detecting them. We can actually pick up what is anomalous in our network now."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
