Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

DX Unified Infrastructure Management and LogRhythm NetMon compete in the IT infrastructure management and security solutions category. DX UIM appears to have an advantage with its wider range of features and support for complex environments.

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

A stable and scalable tool useful for network behavior analysis, DPA, and network forensic services

I have not worked much on LogRhythm NetMon to be able to comment on what needs improvement in the product since there is another team in our company that is working on the solution presently. LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently. With players like IBM QRadar that propose QNI or Darktrace in the market, LogRhythm NetMon needs to consider a reduction in its pricing model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."

"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."

"DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels."

"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."

"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."

"Great out-of-the-box capability."

"DX UIM is scalable."

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."

"LogRhythm NetMon's most impressive feature is that it's a bundled package, so you're not just relying on monthly data; you get a six-month view for more comprehensive indicators of compromise. This dual approach is precious. We implement LogRhythm NetMon in our cybersecurity strategy mainly for compliance and correlation of network, user, and decision activities, particularly for network firewalls and access control."

"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."

"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."

"The initial setup is straightforward because we can deploy an open server."

"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."

"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"

"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."

More LogRhythm NetMon pros

Cons

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

"We would like to see automatic network topology."

"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."

"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."

"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."

"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."

"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."

"The platform's integration features often need to be improved."

"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."

"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."

"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."

More LogRhythm NetMon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"I don't have visibility into the pricing of LogRhythm NetMon as it's handled through our commercial partnerships."

"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."

"LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."

"NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."

"The product is expensive for smaller companies."

"Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."
