Sentiment score
5.4
LogRhythm SIEM's support excels in expertise and quick resolutions, earning high satisfaction despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
4.5
Clients find Sentinel service excellent overall, but some face delays and difficulties, especially with low-priority issues.
The technical support for Logpoint is very good, and I would rate it as nine out of ten.
Logpoint's customer support is not sufficient with only one engineer in the US.
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
7.6
Logpoint offers exceptional scalability, adaptability, and modularity, supporting growth for small to medium enterprises with robust architecture.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable, easily expands across environments, and integrates well, suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sentinel efficiently scales and integrates with systems, favored by large organizations for enterprise-grade performance in extensive environments.
It is web-based and accommodates the expansion of our organization.
Logpoint is scalable and capable of expanding.
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
6.6
Logpoint generally maintains stability but can face issues due to hardware dependency and resource allocation, improving with newer versions.
Sentiment score
4.7
LogRhythm SIEM is stable with high uptime, strong support, handling large data, though updates may affect stability.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sentinel is generally stable, with some users noting Java-related issues and region-specific outages, but high ratings overall.
I have received reports indicating glitches and downtimes with Logpoint.
LogRhythm SIEM still needs improvement regarding stability, particularly in environments with heavy data consumption.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
 

Room For Improvement

Logpoint requires better integration, usability, performance, documentation, installation processes, cloud capabilities, support, and threat management features.
LogRhythm SIEM needs improved integration, user interface, automation, scalability, documentation, and compatibility with non-mainstream platforms and Linux.
Sentinel requires improved web integration, user interface, customization, documentation, and dashboard simplicity, while addressing regional outages and cost concerns.
Dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
Logpoint needs to be cloud-native, as currently, it is not.
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.
Price is always a consideration, so the price would be nice if it were lower.
 

Setup Cost

Logpoint offers a cost-effective subscription model with fixed pricing, though advanced consulting fees could increase overall costs.
LogRhythm SIEM is cost-effective for enterprises, offering transparent pricing and flexible licensing, yet incurs higher professional service fees.
Sentinel is a subscription-based enterprise solution with competitive pricing, offering discounts and regular updates, requiring a support contract.
I rate the pricing at eight, suggesting it's relatively good or affordable.
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
I find LogRhythm SIEM affordable, as it is a bit less costly than QRadar.
They nearly always bill it in dollars, so if it can be billed in our currency, that would be helpful and fixed in our currency.
 

Valuable Features

Logpoint offers cost-effective log management with advanced analytics, seamless integrations, and user-friendly SIEM and SOAR features.
LogRhythm SIEM offers advanced threat detection, user-friendly interface, comprehensive log management, and automated alerts for enhanced security efficiency.
Sentinel excels with its scalable, user-friendly design, integrating advanced threat detection and automated incident response, enhancing security management.
The UEBA enables us to monitor at the device level, and SOAR provides playbooks and templates that we can modify and incorporate into the platform.
It effectively facilitates logging and log storage and assists in security event management by ingesting security events.
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.
The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.
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.
Sentinel's best features include that it's a very easy product to use.

Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
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.
Simon Johnston - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple antivirus solution integrates well but could improve pricing and currency options
I don't really have experience working with these solutions. I promote them for our clients, but I don't work with them. I can't share my experience with these tools as I make assumptions about that. For both Adlumin and CrowdStrike, both confirm that they're scalable and enterprise-ready and all those kinds of things. We haven't had any specific problem with either of those. We just have a preference for which one we would prefer. If somebody says they want to use a different one from the one that we prefer, then we have to find reasons why they aren't. But scalability is not one of the reasons that one is better over the other. I don't really have advice for people that are looking into using Sentinel; just do your research across what is available. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Sentinel a seven.
