It's a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility at all levels

I rate Alluvio AppResponse 10 out of 10. If you work for a financial company especially, you probably face problems on the application side. The problem is easy to identify, but you need to determine the root cause. You can solve issues easily via AppResponse because it shows you all the details of your transactions so you can see the real problem in the database, network, software, etc. For example, you can find the solution easily if you create the right dashboard on your site. If you can't find the problem, you can observe or investigate PCAP.

A stable and scalable tool useful for network behavior analysis, DPA, and network forensic services

I have not worked much on LogRhythm NetMon to be able to comment on what needs improvement in the product since there is another team in our company that is working on the solution presently. LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently. With players like IBM QRadar that propose QNI or Darktrace in the market, LogRhythm NetMon needs to consider a reduction in its pricing model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We really like the scalability capabilities."

"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"

"You need a packet capture device to perform any type of network monitoring. It helps ensure that network overloads don't happen with alerts allowing for proactive decisions."

"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."

"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."

"With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse."

"It's a stable product. Riverbed has invested a significant amount of research and development into it, so it's a solid tool overall."

"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."

More Alluvio AppResponse pros

"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."

"The initial setup is straightforward because we can deploy an open server."

"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."

"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."

"LogRhythm NetMon's most impressive feature is that it's a bundled package, so you're not just relying on monthly data; you get a six-month view for more comprehensive indicators of compromise. This dual approach is precious. We implement LogRhythm NetMon in our cybersecurity strategy mainly for compliance and correlation of network, user, and decision activities, particularly for network firewalls and access control."

"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."

More LogRhythm NetMon pros

Cons

"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."

"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."

"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."

"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."

"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."

"The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data."

"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."

"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."

More Alluvio AppResponse cons

"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."

"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."

"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."

"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."

"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."

"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."

"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."

"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."

More LogRhythm NetMon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."

"The solution is no more expensive than other products."

"The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."

"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."

"I don't have visibility into the pricing of LogRhythm NetMon as it's handled through our commercial partnerships."

"Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."

"LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."

"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."

"NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."

"The product is expensive for smaller companies."
