LogRhythm SIEM's support excels in expertise and quick resolutions, earning high satisfaction despite occasional delays.
The technical support by Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is good because it has a local architect in my area.
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
6.5
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline excels in scalability, especially in cloud environments, accommodating large deployments with ease and flexibility.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable, easily expands across environments, and integrates well, suitable for medium to large enterprises.
LogRhythm SIEM is scalable; it can handle about 200 or 500 devices without much difference.
The scalability of LogRhythm SIEM is good enough, warranting an eight out of ten rating.
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
7.2
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers stable, reliable performance in data centers, with high ratings despite minor issues in older systems.
Sentiment score
4.7
LogRhythm SIEM is stable with high uptime, strong support, handling large data, though updates may affect stability.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
LogRhythm SIEM still needs improvement regarding stability, particularly in environments with heavy data consumption.
 

Room For Improvement

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline needs security enhancements, improved GUI, better performance, cloud support, and easier setup and hardware handling.
LogRhythm SIEM needs improved integration, user interface, automation, scalability, documentation, and compatibility with non-mainstream platforms and Linux.
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.
There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments.
A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is often seen as expensive, but pricing perceptions vary based on needs and roles.
LogRhythm SIEM is cost-effective for enterprises, offering transparent pricing and flexible licensing, yet incurs higher professional service fees.
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
I find LogRhythm SIEM affordable, as it is a bit less costly than QRadar.
 

Valuable Features

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline improves network visibility, performance, and security through advanced traffic analysis, integration, and process efficiencies.
LogRhythm SIEM offers advanced threat detection, user-friendly interface, comprehensive log management, and automated alerts for enhanced security efficiency.
The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security.
The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.
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.
This helps SOC analysts significantly as they can monitor all log sources through a dashboard, quickly identifying which sources haven't reported within their specified timeframes.

SumitKumar20 - PeerSpot reviewer
Tool consistently aids in effective threat detection and monitoring but could benefit from improved log source management and resource optimization
One major area for improvement in LogRhythm SIEM is the lack of volume measurement capability in terms of storage. There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments. This information is crucial for planning future storage needs and scalability. The system monitor (collector) agent has issues with resource consumption. Even when not actively collecting data, the agent continues to consume significant CPU and memory resources, which can be particularly problematic for small business environments with limited resources. LogRhythm SIEM could improve by adding more default device support. While they have good default settings for devices such as Palo Alto firewalls, custom log sources often require extensive work. Increasing the number of supported devices with built-in policies and functionality would reduce the need for custom work. Competitive SIEM tools often provide more comprehensive coverage for various devices and vendors.
