Rifat Hasan

System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited

Has lacked proper integration and consistent support communication

I selected Logpoint for the pricing as it is reasonable. I am located in Bangladesh, South Asia, Dhaka. I have tried to contact Exabeam by mail repeatedly, but there has been no response. My company, Corporate Projukti Limited, including my Bangladesh area head, technical director, and team manager, have sent emails to contact Exabeam solution, but there is no response. There is already a distributor in Bangladesh. The weakness with Logpoint is UEBA. UEBA is recommended, but not extra. Exabeam's UEBA is an extra feature. SOAR is extra, but Logpoint's product measurement is 40 or 50. There is a 10% difference with the UEBA and SOAR, so Logpoint is weak there. I would appreciate extra features in Logpoint such as SOAR. SOAR and UEBA are included features in Logpoint. Logpoint's UEBA is a weak point, while Exabeam's UEBA has extra AI through automation. Exabeam has a license included, and the extra license is an add-on. In Logpoint, it is included, which makes it a weak point.

Yashokanth Partkunan

Managed Services Engineer at Loop1 Systems

Has supported client needs efficiently but requires deeper analysis features and faster support

The log analyzing capability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager should go into more depth than the current environment. More modification and enhancements are required on the dashboard side in order to make it closer to optimal performance. From observation and feedback from users, they need more functionality related to monitoring, and in-depth analyzing needs to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."

"It is a good cost proposition, and it works extremely well and very fast."

"The solution's user interface is quite simple, and the integration is better than other products."

"In my experience with medium-sized operations, LogPoint's scalability is excellent, so I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"I would say that it's a good product; it's very stable, and the support is very good."

"For on-premises, it is the best solution."

"Even if I bash a lot on LogPoint, I must say that it's a bang for the buck product."

"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."

More Logpoint pros

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."

"The scalability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is good."

"We were suffering from a lack of visibility into our logs, so we implemented SolarWinds LEM."

"SolarWinds' stability is fine. I don't think we've had any software issues."

"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."

"The reporting and alerting capabilities are really nice."

"SolarWinds has provided greater visibility into incidents and activities on the network."

"It's extremely easy to deploy."

Cons

"Dashboards could be developed further."

"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."

"My issues with the product are mainly with regard to how it handles collecting logs."

"Log management could be better because transporting the log from a password to the client system takes time."

"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."

"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."

"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."

"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."

More Logpoint cons

"The solution was a little slow when running some larger queries."

"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."

"We'd like more customization capabilities."

"Under the new system, it is not upgradable the way they say. When you try to do an upgrade, it doesn't really work unless you dump everything and start from scratch. You lose a lot of your nodes. Whenever you set your nodes up and everything else, they don't want to bring those nodes back in, so you have to really go back and restructure all your nodes. I went from version 6.5 to version 6.6 and then to version 6.7. I then went to version 2019, and now it is version 2020. It would be good if we can upgrade without having to delete everything and start from scratch. They can maybe build more KPIs and other things for the dashboard. Some of the other systems already have built-in KPIs. SolarWinds is starting to catch up, but it is not there yet. They can include some of the business or industry standards for tracking the time, that is, the meantime to detect (MTTD) and the meantime to resolve (MTTR). They can also find a way to build a KPI that measures the number of instances of port scans experienced in a week or a month."

"We used the support from SolarWinds Security Event Manager and they are knowledgeable but challenging to get in contact with them."

"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."

"It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution."

"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."

"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."

"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."

"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."

"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."

"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."

"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."

"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."

More Logpoint pricing and cost advice

"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."

"The pricing model would benefit from having package deals with other SolarWinds products."

"It is in the appropriate mid-range. It is not as expensive as some of the other solutions. It is also not cheap."

"Licensing is on devices, so if you have many, then this may be high."

"The tool is available at a good price for customers compared to other solutions in the market. I rate the product's price as an eight out of ten."

"We do a yearly license renewal. For a year, the solution costs roughly $500,000 USD. There are no costs beyond this yearly fee."

"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."
