Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.
Mokhammad Rakhman - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly dashboard and machine learning capabilities improve threat hunting efficiency
LogRhythm SIEM has strong machine-learning capabilities with behavioral rules and analysis. The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient. Analytics and behavioral analysis help me save time with rule creation. Its scalability allows me to add components as needed. Overall, LogRhythm SIEM offers end-to-end visibility with a reasonable price.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"The price is worth it."
"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."
"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"We have seen a massive increase in the amount of data that we can collect, the type of things that we can see, the way we can look at logs, the way we can get alerts, and the way can create our own customer roles, which has allowed us to customize the work in our environment."
"The Web Console is my favorite. It enables me, at a glance, to see the health of the environments."
"The ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"The user interface is pretty good compared to other SIEM tools."
"We now have a central point of monitoring for all potential threats."
"LogRhythm's GUI is easy to explore. We also like other features, such as its integration with other security solutions, log correlation, and the deployment of use cases."
"LogRhythm's dashboard is very good compared to other SIEM solutions since it shows many details."
"The user interface is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"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."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"I think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."
"The console installation is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that needs improvement. If LogRhythm SIEM can offer a web console, it would be great."
"The reporting on the dashboard should be improved from a management perspective. It would be helpful if they adjusted the colors and the presentation to make things clearer and easier to read."
"Move it to Linux. I would like to see it get off the SQL Server."
"Only area I can think of to improve on is the proof reading and using the guides before releasing them. Out the the 20+ guides I used one had issues with wrong information in it."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"My biggest complaint is documentation. Everyone tells me, "We have documentation on the Community site." I have searched for different types of documentation on numerous occasions, and it might be there, but it's not easily findable."
"I would really like to see some type of group or global management for RIM policies,"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"The nice thing about LogRhythm is you can either use the agents, getting a certain number of agents with your license depending on how you want to go, and those agents do a lot of cool things, or you can use CIS Log host, then you have like an unlimited number of them."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. As it comes out new features and new releases, the window is becoming a lot narrower because you can pivot a lot more with the data. Therefore, the new features and enhancements are reducing that."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
