Advanced threat hunting has improved visibility and has simplified custom query automation
CrowdStrike is ahead of the game. If I may say anything about Falcon LogScale to improve the services, I would talk about the way you develop parsers. The documentation should be more straightforward. It is not easy to quickly find the documentation, especially if you are using CrowdStrike. Most customers use Falcon LogScale because of CrowdStrike. The documentation of Falcon LogScale is not on the CrowdStrike portal just like the rest of Falcon documentation. I usually find that the main Falcon LogScale documentation is found on the Falcon LogScale website itself. I think there should be a link or direct documentation within the CrowdStrike pages. It is not necessarily a fault. If you find where the documentation resides, you can trace it to what they are doing. However, for the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.

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 fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
"Falcon LogScale stores logs without heavy indexing and searches directly, making it very fast."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"Mostly for us the most valuable feature is its aggregation of all the logs into a single platform, and then doing the real-time monitoring based on that."
"We integrated Azure logs with it and that makes it simpler. Rather than having to log into the portal, we can just check everything in one place. We can compare those to our Windows and host logs to see if any problems correlate between them."
"The most valuable feature to me is certainly the CloudAI, which I have been a beta tester of, and also the SIEM capabilities and automation."
"The ability to investigate a particular period of time where you can analyze logs is its most valuable feature."
"The fact we're able to create customized monitoring reports that extract info from event logs helps us a lot."
"We are migrating from a different product (Curator) to this product, and we think LogRhythm is better than the older product that we were using."
"Compliance reporting is another great feature of this product. It has built in reports right out of the box."
"So far we're pretty happy with the overall functionality of the system."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"That is a difficult question regarding Falcon LogScale. That is really a question for the professionals, and I am not a professional, so I do not know."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"One more point about areas for improvement is the visualization depth. Splunk, which I used, has very good visualization compared to Falcon LogScale."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The integration could improve."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"In terms of blind spots, we are looking for more improvements since we don't have visibility over everything."
"I don't think the cloud model in LogRhythm is developed enough."
"One of the things I find that would be helpful is the GLPR information, to be able to understand what is actually being processed."
"I would like to see APIs well-documented and public facing, so we can get to them all."
"We don't get much use out of this product because people around here consider it to be unreliable, and it's hard to do searches."
"It should have some more message monitoring features. It can also have some free message monitoring tools."
"Then, there is whole mention of hot versus warm and being able to keep data because SecondLook is terrible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."

"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
