Sentiment score

It is so straightforward that I have never had to use the support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
LogRhythm SIEM is mostly scalable but faces challenges with older models, licensing, and cloud environment costs for smaller businesses.
Sentiment score
6.8
Zabbix is scalable and reliable, efficiently handling millions of metrics, but may require significant database and hardware resources.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.1
LogRhythm SIEM is stable and reliable, though minor issues occur during upgrades or with complex queries and high event rates.
Sentiment score
7.6
Zabbix is stable, efficient, and reliable, with occasional tuning needed, attributed to external factors like database configurations.
 

Room For Improvement

LogRhythm SIEM needs interface, integration, and performance improvements, enhanced tools, better documentation, streamlined processes, automation, and user-friendly dashboards.
Zabbix requires enhancements in discovery, UI, reporting, integration, automation, scalability, customization, and security for improved user experience.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
 

Setup Cost

LogRhythm SIEM offers transparency and competitive pricing, valued for features, despite high costs for large-scale deployments and services.
Zabbix attracts enterprises with its cost-effective open-source model, offering free use and optional paid support and training.
 

Valuable Features

LogRhythm SIEM excels in threat detection with AI, ease of use, extensive log collection, and seamless integration, enhancing security visibility.
Zabbix provides flexible, scalable open-source monitoring with customizable features, cost-effectiveness, and strong community support for IT infrastructure.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.

Easy configuration and great user behaviour analysis and automation
The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions that need a special team dedicated to configure and extract reports. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorizes different types of data: cold, warm, and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. It studies the user behavior and if there is unusual traffic is recorded from a user, the solution flags it very effectively.

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.
