Helps with productivity, reduces administrative overhead, and offers useful dashboards
Our previous SIEM did not have dashboards, so there wasn't a starting point. With our previous SIEM, we had to have a specific thing we were looking for, and only then we could find it. The dashboards in the LogRhythm SIEM really help us as a starting point. It gives us a starting point we can go to every day. We walk through several dashboards to see anomalous activity for further investigation. The dashboards, therefore, are our favorite feature of the SIEM. The solution helped with productivity and the ability to process logs. We do Event Log Filtering for certain log types, which we don't want in our SIEM as they're just too noisy. Having too much noise in the SIEM makes it harder to find relevant things. Therefore, we use Log Filtering to limit the noise. It's also given us the ability to bring more logs in, so we bring them all from all of our workstations and servers. Doing the log filtering this way allowed us to bring in other log sources and keep the noise manageable. It's helped reduce our administrative overhead. Before we started doing the log filtering, we exceeded our license capacity for what we were licensed in terms of logs in our SIEM. The filtering allowed us to bring the noise down and helped us with the removal of junk logs that are not useful. We have a lot of firewalls, and anytime you're traversing internally inside of the firewall, it generates a lot of traffic. That kind of traffic is the type of traffic we took out, allowing us to bring our workstation traffic logs in to give us a better view of our environment. It's very big for us that the solution is out-of-the-box. To have the solution be turnkey was significant as it enabled us to ramp up and get the logs onboarded immediately. There wasn't a lot of configuration to get to a point where we could bring logs in. It was essentially turnkey.

Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our clients enjoy having one dashboard to monitor their environments in real time."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features. The solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."
"LogRhythm does a very good job of helping SOCs manage their workflows."
"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 most valuable feature is that we can alternate incident automations."
"I find LogRhythm's log management capabilities to be beneficial."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management. Because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
 

Cons

"The built-in functionality of the solution for NDR, SOAR, SIEM, and EDS has room for improvement."
"The software needs to work on its pricing."
"My biggest complaint is documentation. Everyone tells me, "We have documentation on the Community site." I have searched for different types of documentation on numerous occasions, and it might be there, but it's not easily findable."
"We've tried to work with a couple of engineering department guys there. We've called them and called them but we never hear anything back."
"It should be improved for automated setup and auto-configuration. There should be ease of integration and ease of setup."
"The initial setup is not so easy because it is quite a process."
"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."
"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."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"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 recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"It’s a single license platform."
