Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases
Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.
SumitKumar20 - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at Granicus Inc.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."
"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features. The solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."
"In terms of the feedback we've received from the end-user and our own experience with the deployment process and manageability, everything is great."
"For my situation, besides the investigation that LogRhythm offers, it's the AI Engine rule set that it offers, and it has brought us more significant changes in how we alarm and notify our users about what's going on in our network."
"If I look back to my other SIEM solution providers, the one we had before this, it's light years difference."
"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"LogRhythm has been a major step with giving me file integrity monitoring, the SIEM capabilities, log collection, a lot of things that we didn't have before."
"It allows us to automate a lot of things with a smaller team."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operational issues which need to be addressed."
 

Cons

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"Right now there is the concern about being able to gather all of the data into the system."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
"I would like to see APIs well-documented and public facing, so we can get to them all."
"A cleaner interface. I keep getting confused and forgetting where everything is."
"I would like to see case management become more independent from LogRhythm itself."
"In terms of improvement, their community boards, where to go find things, as a customer. As they're growing and they're moving stuff around, it would be nice if we knew exactly where to find what."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
