Advanced threat detection has improved investigations but complexity and resource use need refinement
LogRhythm SIEM could learn from Wazuh, as Wazuh has a built-in mechanism that allows you to write custom scripting and scripts through languages that Wazuh can then trigger, which is somewhat better and more matured in Wazuh compared to LogRhythm SIEM. Additionally, the parsers that I write for LogRhythm SIEM tend to get quite complex for log parsing, while with Wazuh, I can achieve a similar parser with much less complexity. Those are some of the pain points that some of our customers have been expressing. If LogRhythm SIEM could make a lightweight version of their solution, that would be quite competitive because some of my customers have a very large need but refuse to go with LogRhythm SIEM due to its complexity and high resource intensity. Therefore, they have been moved to Wazuh, which I am deploying for them. Even though LogRhythm SIEM has extremely good capabilities, their resource utilization is too heavy for certain customers, so if they could make a separate, lightweight version, that would be quite beneficial.

Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend NextGen SIEM to other users as it is a leading solution with new features at a better price than competitors like Splunk and QRadar."
"LogRhythm lights up when an event occurs; as opposed to just giving us everything, it will piece things together for you and let you know that you probably should look at this, providing the evidence and making qualifying or investigations a little bit quicker and allowing us to close down on remediation times."
"The most valuable feature I get out of the LogRhythm platform is being able to take machine data and present it in a format that's easy to understand, easy to analyze, easy to pivot through to get answers to the questions that I had that I'm investigating, whether they're security related or operationally related."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"A lot of customers recommended it, because of the built-in rules, and the out-of-the-box configuration is much better than Splunk, and given our team size and our internal resources, we made the decision to go with LogRhythm."
"It has definitely improved our security program's maturity, because we have visibility that we didn't have before."
"LogRhythm's improved our organization by allowing all sorts of members of the organization to be able to access this data in a much easier way than they have been able to in the past."
"For the operations and monitoring pieces, going from what we had before to it being the central component for us, it has really helped us become more mature in those areas."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
 

Cons

"My rating of eight out of 10 for LogRhythm is because, while I think the support is great, the solution is a little rough around the edges."
"Move it to Linux. I would like to see it get off the SQL Server."
"I would like to see more integration with more products that are out there within the same security field."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"We're still struggling to get a real return on it and finding something that isn't false noise."
"In the canned reports, I would like to see, rather than a blank report come out, for it to say something like, "No logs found," or "No log sources available." I don’t like blank reports."
"I'm not sure if I would recommend the solution to others as they still need to improve a few things."
"It will definitely help if the parsing side would be much easier, meaning it would be better if we could easily make adjustments on the parser, both on standard and non-standard log sources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"It’s a single license platform."
