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.

Advanced threat detection has improved investigations but complexity and resource use need refinement
LogRhythm SIEM could learn from Wazuh, as Wazuh has a built-in mechanism that allows you to write custom scripting and scripts through languages that Wazuh can then trigger, which is somewhat better and more matured in Wazuh compared to LogRhythm SIEM. Additionally, the parsers that I write for LogRhythm SIEM tend to get quite complex for log parsing, while with Wazuh, I can achieve a similar parser with much less complexity. Those are some of the pain points that some of our customers have been expressing. If LogRhythm SIEM could make a lightweight version of their solution, that would be quite competitive because some of my customers have a very large need but refuse to go with LogRhythm SIEM due to its complexity and high resource intensity. Therefore, they have been moved to Wazuh, which I am deploying for them. Even though LogRhythm SIEM has extremely good capabilities, their resource utilization is too heavy for certain customers, so if they could make a separate, lightweight version, that would be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"A lot of customers recommended it, because of the built-in rules, and the out-of-the-box configuration is much better than Splunk, and given our team size and our internal resources, we made the decision to go with LogRhythm."
"The content in the community is very helpful and useful for new users."
"The consolidation of the logs and being able to manage the items we have coming in -- all in one product -- has really helped this company a lot."
"LogRhythm really gave us a better understanding of what our overall risk is within our network and has opened our eyes to include other products that helped address different types of issues."
"We should be able to response to threats and gain visibility into our environment that we don't currently have."
"CloudAI has definitely enhanced our security operations; it helps me understand what the users are doing almost instantaneously, it helps me understand what these users are doing in a daily report, and it helps me really feel why our users are doing certain things, why they are authenticating to certain servers."
"Its ability to work with all different sorts of log sources has been extremely valuable."
"LogRhythm is a perfect example of "Garbage In, Garbage Out" in Information Security—LogRhythm reports on the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) activity are only as reliable as the data coming in."
 

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."
"We run across the odd vendor which we are using that we think are large players in their environment, but there is not necessarily a native support for their log ingestion per se, where it requires customization in order to be able to parse and accept their logs."
"The built-in functionality of the solution for NDR, SOAR, SIEM, and EDS has room for improvement."
"Retrieving logs that have been archived can be a difficult and time consuming process."
"What still needs improvement is automation. The SmartResponse obviously does not use open APIs at the moment, so we're having a lot of problems connecting it with things like Palo Alto Traps and some other systems, things like Cisco."
"I would like to see case management become more independent from LogRhythm itself."
"I would like to suggest that they should improve their usage of third party tools for making dashboards and reports. If they would create their own tools for dashboard and report, it would be much better in terms of security purposes."
"There is, of course, always, improved automation. Because, as we are continually needing more and more people from an analyst perspective, the more we can automate, the fewer people we need."
"I would like to see additional features around alarm management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"I have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. We went from not detecting them to detecting them. We can actually pick up what is anomalous in our network now."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"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."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
