It has improved our system and network policy monitoring
They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.
Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"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."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
