Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace users achieve faster issue resolution, reduced downtime, cost savings, and improved efficiency, enhancing innovation and performance.
Sentiment score
8.0
LogRhythm SIEM boosts ROI, visibility, and security compliance, offering cost-effective risk management and productivity benefits, especially for medium enterprises.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace support is friendly and knowledgeable but experiences with response times and integration assistance vary among users.
Sentiment score
6.9
LogRhythm SIEM's support is knowledgeable and responsive, though consistency and initial response times need improvement.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
The technical support from Dynatrace is excellent.
The technical support is good; we have a separate portal for partners, and since we are paying for the service, they provide a response timeframe based on severity—critical issues are addressed within four hours, medium issues within one day, and non-urgent issues may take a couple of days.
Customer support is very helpful and effectively solves my problems.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Dynatrace efficiently manages large environments, easily scales horizontally and vertically, though some report minor scalability challenges with costs.
Sentiment score
7.6
LogRhythm SIEM is praised for its strong scalability and effectiveness in accommodating expanding demands across diverse environments.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
LogRhythm SIEM is scalable; it can handle about 200 or 500 devices without much difference.
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable as it has modular components allowing me to expand storage, indexing, or other resources as needed.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Dynatrace is praised for robust stability, high availability, smooth updates, and minimal issues, with consistent improvements over time.
Sentiment score
4.4
LogRhythm SIEM is generally stable, reliable, and efficient, with some performance issues resolved through updates and proper resource allocation.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace requires improvements in pricing, setup complexity, user interface, monitoring, AI accuracy, reporting, integrations, and support comprehensiveness.
LogRhythm SIEM needs better integration, UI improvements, enhanced reports, and Linux-based support for efficiency and tool integration.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Dynatrace stands out when making comparisons with other tools.
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.
A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace is valued for features and cloud integration but seen as pricey; users desire clearer, flexible pricing models.
LogRhythm SIEM offers competitive pricing with comprehensive features, though scalability and additional features may increase costs.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
I find LogRhythm SIEM affordable, as it is a bit less costly than QRadar.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace provides AI-driven monitoring with comprehensive performance insights, ease of deployment, intuitive UI, and seamless application integration.
LogRhythm SIEM excels in threat detection, user-friendly interface, and integration, offering centralized logs and customizable alerts.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
We have enough budget for cloud deployment, but we choose to keep it on-prem to ensure data privacy; cyberattacks are a concern, but data privacy is the foremost priority due to sensitive government information.
The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.

Featured Reviews

Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
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.
