Wail Khachfa - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy configuration and great user behaviour analysis and automation
The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions that need a special team dedicated to configure and extract reports. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorizes different types of data: cold, warm, and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. It studies the user behavior and if there is unusual traffic is recorded from a user, the solution flags it very effectively.

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

"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."
"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."
"We have to be able to show the evidence, and LogRhythm does a great job of putting it forward and making it easy to create reports with nice looking dashboards, which show off what we are doing as a security program."
"The ability to investigate a particular period of time where you can analyze logs is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"We should be able to response to threats and gain visibility into our environment that we don't currently have."
"Our clients enjoy having one dashboard to monitor their environments in real time."
"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."
"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 reports that you can run are really nice."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"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."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
 

Cons

"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is currently based only on the Windows platform. This means that some of our customers have to purchase a Windows license elsewhere. If LogRhythm can move to a Linux platform or a proprietary platform, it would be very helpful."
"I would like it to do a lot of the automation (which I still need to learn more about), because I am essentially a one man shop doing all the jobs. I'd like for it to be able to do more for me."
"My biggest issue - I know that they say they're doing it - is that the API-building is extremely important. They keep saying it's coming, it's coming. It's not coming fast enough. I don't care if they need to double their team size to get it out there quicker, the world is already in the cloud and we can't monitor it. That's a big problem for us. My boss keeps coming to me about it. That's an issue."
"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."
"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."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"The initial setup is not so easy because it is quite a process."
"The software needs to work on its pricing."
"The support needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"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."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"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."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"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."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
