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

"Customer service and technical support were both excellent, and we experienced no issues with stability or scalability while using the solution for security logging and traffic-aware reporting."
"The advanced intelligence engine, in fact the whole suite, is very powerful and as far as I’m concerned, it’s one of the best for security management."
"One of the main features that I like about LogRhythm NextGen 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."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management, and because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"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."
"The LogRhythm AIE (Advanced Intelligence Engine) is very good at alerting my SOC to events of interest and potential security issues without flooding my team with noise."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features, and the solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."
"Compliance reporting is another great feature of this product. It has built in reports right out of the box."
"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

"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
"A month or two will go by and everything will be fine, and all of a sudden, something breaks."
"My big thing is the easability. I don't like to go to two different systems."
"We don't get much use out of this product because people around here consider it to be unreliable, and it's hard to do searches."
"I would like to see APIs well-documented and public facing, so we can get to them all."
"I think there were a couple of years in the very beginning when I was a little frustrated with them, but now, and especially, we just bought a new box last year, the newer version, it seems to have a lot of the kinks worked out, and so I wouldn't have any problem recommending them."
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM."
"For me, room for improvement is the upgrade process."
"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 solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"It’s a single license platform."
