Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting
The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.

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

"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"In the logs and the trajectory, it shows detailed information about where the source of infection comes from, how it travels, and how to reach there."
"CrowdStrike Observability is a signature-less solution where you don't need to update your endpoints or the CrowdStrike Observability agents regularly, and it is completely based on AI and ML search engines."
"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."
"The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues."
"CrowdStrike Observability offers strong predictive analytics capabilities, and the intelligent alerting system helps minimize noise and optimize IT resources effectively."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling the KB update, which reduces administrative effort."
"We have made this the foundation of our security intelligence within our organization, and it has allowed us to detect and remediate Advanced Persistent Threats."
"The artificial intelligence engine."
"Provides visibility into the network."
"What I really like about LogRhythm is that they're always innovating, new ideas."
"For the operations and monitoring pieces, going from what we had before to it being the central component for us, it has really helped us become more mature in those areas."
"Within three hours of installation of LogRhythm, we were pulling error reports that actually indicated we had a switch about to fail, and it saved us about ten thousand dollars of a potential failed switch."
"The LogRhythm platform has helped my organization by being able to have 24 analyses on logs and events from all the various systems that feed into the LogRhythm platform."
 

Cons

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."
"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."
"More help and assistance with some of the open source products, everything seems to be focused on Windows versus giving some guidance and some documentation on how to use it."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM could improve by adding more applications for the banking sector. There are not any custom applications at this time."
"We would like to see a better base templates for reporting."
"My main thing I'd like to see is, when you're using canned reports, that they're not blank."
"Definitely expansion on log parsing. There are some obscure log sources that we don't currently have parsers for."
"The initial setup is complex. We are using a LogRhythm partner, at least for the first three years, to help with the monitoring and the deployment of it. We are not a big enough environment where we have people that we can dedicate to it right now."
"I would like a more fuller implementation of STIX/TAXII so I can pull in some of the government lists without having to go implement a whole new STIX/TAXII platform."
"Sometimes the error-logging is not altogether helpful. There have been many times where I've been disappointed, where I'll ramp an agent up to Verbose and it will say, "LogRhythm critical error, the agent won't bind to a NIC," or the like, and I end up with no really actionable or identifiable information coming in, even though I've ramped up the logging level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"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."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"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."
"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
