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

"It has improved the organization a great deal because we're able to see much more data, see what activity is actually being found in the network, what type of threats we're encountering, and whatever would not have been seen previously because it aggregates all the logs together and flags us according to the alerts being triggered."
"The visibility that it gives us into all of our data at once."
"The security operation center is excellent."
"We have been impressed with the data that we're getting back, the look and feel, ease of use, and things of that nature."
"In comparison to others, LogRhythm SIEM has certain features that other solutions are lacking; for example, user analytics and user behavior monitoring are features that some of the other SIEMs lack."
"The Web Console is my favorite. It enables me, at a glance, to see the health of the environments."
"What I found most valuable in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's user-friendly. I also like its dashboard, which shows all the logs and information I want to see."
"While the cost is high, the security provided is quite good, and for those who can afford it, they will pay for the peace of mind."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

Cons

"I have probably submitted half a dozen log parser requests, and I keep finding more stuff that we need to keep an eye on that doesn't have a definition in LogRhythm."
"I would really like to see some type of group or global management for RIM policies,"
"We're still struggling to get a real return on it and finding something that isn't false noise."
"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."
"I would really love to be able to take some of the data and not have to export it to a CSV file, so I can pull it into Excel to turn it into some other kind of graph."
"In terms of blind spots, we are looking for more improvements since we don't have visibility over everything."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
"Technical support could use a little work in the terms of responding back. The feedback that we received is they do need a little more staff."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"It’s a single license platform."
