Featured Reviews

Nagendra Nekkala. - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable solution that enables users to see all the event logs in one place
The technical support team is very slow. The support persons do not take prompt action. They take too much time to implement new changes. Even if we tell them that we are not able to get critical logs, they take almost three to four days to provide a resolution. The support is not good.
AshishDubey - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"It's an efficient solution."
"ArcSight Logger is very stable and useful for customers."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"ArcSight Logger is very stable and useful for customers."
"The search feature within AXON is pretty robust. It's actually very fast in comparison to that in the previous platform. It's going to really help with investigations when they get rules put into the system."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
 

Cons

"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon. Faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite harsh."
"ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
"I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
"We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."
"ArcSight is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
"I know that there are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product...The pricing of LogRhythm Axon falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
