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.

Real-time security management with potential for enhanced training materials
I use ManageEngine Log360 to manage company alerts. It is used in the security part, looking for issues in Active Directory and performing various tasks in Office 365 Using ManageEngine Log360 has been a significant improvement for our company because it consolidates multiple tools into a single…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security operation center is excellent."
"We should be able to response to threats and gain visibility into our environment that we don't currently have."
"I like LogRhythm's ease of use. The solution has improved compared to previous versions. It had many issues before, like integration, the console, creating reports, false positives, etc. The AI engine has made it stronger in the latest version."
"LogRhythm's GUI is easy to explore. We also like other features, such as its integration with other security solutions, log correlation, and the deployment of use cases."
"It gives us insight into our entire installation, where we are multiple sites, going as far as the East Coast to the Central West Coast."
"Even other products we have that feed into it, instead of having to watch all of them we only have to watch one. For example, we have CrowdStrike, so instead of having to pay attention that solution - because their dashboard doesn't really pop when an alarm comes up - we can see issues with the red on the LogRhythm alarm. That is very nice."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operations issues which need to be addressed."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
 

Cons

"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"There is room for improvement with separate running sources or better integration."
"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."
"Sometimes, the tool fails to get the correlated events that triggered the alerts."
"It's not easy for someone new to the solution."
"The reporting on the dashboard should be improved from a management perspective. It would be helpful if they adjusted the colors and the presentation to make things clearer and easier to read."
"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and CheckPoint OPSec Lea."
"The integration is slightly difficult with other assets, like EDR technologies or firewalls."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."
"The nice thing about LogRhythm is you can either use the agents, getting a certain number of agents with your license depending on how you want to go, and those agents do a lot of cool things, or you can use CIS Log host, then you have like an unlimited number of them."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
