Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
We have the standard use cases for this product including monitoring of any kind. I'm the company CEO and we are partners with LogRhythm.  The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us. It's very good in correlation and it can pinpoint exactly what happened in…

Robust, reliable, simple to install and good technical support
We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection. I'm not sure what the remaining threat protection features are off the top of my head. But beyond that, we use URL filtering. We have three approved cases for using external dynamic lists that are stored in a bucket repository. Then, for each URL site that needs to be whitelisted, we add it to the external dynamic list in order to gain access to this email. I would like Wildfire to be implemented. We use the equivalent in Cisco is the integration policies. We have the Wildfire but we are not currently implementing it. We don't have the license to use it, but we are not currently implementing it until we present the use cases that the company gives some value to and they approve the use of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"It effectively prevents malware, ransomware, and other attacks."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products."
"One of the most valuable features is the anti-malware protection."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
 

Cons

"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"The solution could benefit from improved AI analytics to predict potential attacks before they occur, similar to NDR systems."
"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."
"Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The price of the solution is higher than others on the market. A price reduction would be beneficial if it does not impact their database quality."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve by having consistent pricing at system levels."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"It's not too expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower."
"Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention is quite competitive, offering extensive threat detection and prevention capabilities, though it is priced higher than some alternatives."
"It is an expensive solution and I would like to see a drop in price."
