Sentiment score

Zabbix offers efficient scalability and performance for large enterprises, overcoming database and hardware challenges without costly licenses.
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable as it has modular components allowing me to expand storage, indexing, or other resources as needed.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.0
LogRhythm SIEM is generally stable and reliable, with improvements and effective support despite occasional hardware and high log volume issues.
Sentiment score
7.6
Zabbix is highly stable, reliable, and resource-efficient, though occasional configuration and tuning are needed, especially for databases.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
 

Room For Improvement

LogRhythm SIEM needs better third-party integration, ease of use, performance enhancements, superior support, and improved scalability and cloud integration.
Zabbix's user interface and features need improvement, with insufficient scalability, modern workload monitoring, and inadequate documentation.
A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
 

Setup Cost

LogRhythm SIEM offers competitive, transparent pricing with flexible licensing and premium enterprise features, justifying its higher cost.
Zabbix is a cost-effective, open-source enterprise solution with no licensing fees, appealing for its affordability compared to competitors.
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
 

Valuable Features

LogRhythm SIEM offers AI-driven threat detection, easy dashboards, compliance reporting, and scalable log integration for enhanced network security.
Zabbix offers flexible, scalable open-source monitoring with strong customization, seamless API integration, and user-friendly features supported by robust documentation.
The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.

User-friendly dashboard and machine learning capabilities improve threat hunting efficiency
LogRhythm SIEM has strong machine-learning capabilities with behavioral rules and analysis. The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient. Analytics and behavioral analysis help me save time with rule creation. Its scalability allows me to add components as needed. Overall, LogRhythm SIEM offers end-to-end visibility with a reasonable price.
ASM Naushad Alam - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven out of ten.
