Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations

We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

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

"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."

"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."

"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."

"Wire data analytics."

"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"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."

"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."

"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."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

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

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

"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."

"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."

Cons

"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."

"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."

More LogRhythm NetMon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."

"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."

"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."

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

"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."

"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."

"The product is expensive for smaller companies."
