Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operations issues which need to be addressed."
"The product was easy to deploy and easy to learn how to use, and the web console is the best I have seen when compared to other SIEMs."
"The advanced intelligence engine, in fact the whole suite, is very powerful and as far as I’m concerned, it’s one of the best for security management."
"LogRhythm SIEM gives us a sense of confidence that, during an investigation, it's a solid source of information that we can use to complement the investigation or perhaps complete the entire investigation within the SIEM."
"We are migrating from a different product (Curator) to this product, and we think LogRhythm is better than the older product that we were using."
"A lot of customers recommended it, because of the built-in rules, and the out-of-the-box configuration is much better than Splunk, and given our team size and our internal resources, we made the decision to go with LogRhythm."
"The content in the community is very helpful and useful for new users."
"Straight away it was fairly evident that the LogRhythm application itself, and the agent roll-out, was straight out of the box."
 

Cons

"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"I have had a lot of trouble with stability, perfect timing."
"The biggest thing I want is, right now you have thick console and the web console. Most of the reporting has to be done in the thick console. I'd love more reporting in the web console."
"In terms of blind spots, we are looking for more improvements since we don't have visibility over everything."
"Probably the biggest improvement is their thin piece, which is their file integrity monitor that we use on some of our security servers. The data sets are extremely large, tons of files are being modified, deleted, created, and that product could use some more enhancing."
"We are seeing performance issues with the appliance."
"We were having some challenges initially, especially ingesting those standard log sources. We ran into issues where it was not parsing correctly."
"Right now I know there's a big issue with reporting. It's challenging, at least for us, to do some of the reporting within the system itself."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"I have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. We went from not detecting them to detecting them. We can actually pick up what is anomalous in our network now."
"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
