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.

Efficient monitoring with detailed customization, yet complexity remains

The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless. I have used the automated device discovery with this topology feature. The interactive map feature helps me manage the topology because sometimes we cannot draw the topology correctly, so we need to manually edit the connections. The alerting system is very tunable and customizable, but it's a little complicated to use. Many customers cannot manage it by themselves and need support from us, the provider. We always use the dashboards in the SOC, where we constantly display a dashboard or multiple dashboards. This allows us to know immediately if the connection or bandwidth is full or if the connection is broken.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."

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

"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."

"The product is easy to use."

"The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."

"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."

"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."

"The technical support for Logpoint is very good, and I would rate it as nine out of ten."

More Logpoint pros

"There is a flow monitor option, so we can trace the source IP, the destination IP, and top talker feature in this."

"The new version has a lot of improved features."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the application monitors that allow for discreet roaming on network devices."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"NetFlow monitoring, real-time monitoring, and surveys have been the most valuable features for our business."

"The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless."

"We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down."

"The interactive mapping interface for scrolling, zooming, and drilling down on an element to learn about a network issue is good. When we see a network there will sometimes be a spot that has one link. You can go into a particular part of the topology map, scroll in, and see exactly which module it is."

More WhatsUp Gold pros

Cons

"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."

"LogPoint is complex and we don't have the skills to maintain use cases or even to extend the use cases."

"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."

"Sometimes, the product is not stable."

"Logpoint's UEBA is a weak point, while Exabeam's UEBA has extra AI through automation."

"Customer Service: This is a HUGE problem."

"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."

"It needs to improve performance. That's somehow something that others do better."

More Logpoint cons

"The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system."

"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."

"The initial setup of WhatsUp Gold is a medium range of difficulty levels. However, if it is your first time it could be difficult."

"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."

"I might like to see a better interface in the future. It's not necessarily easy to integrate the product with other vendors."

"Regional product team support is not very good."

"The interface needs some work."

"WhatsUp Gold should work on real-time monitoring and configuration management. If they succeed in doing this, the solution will cover all the network troubleshooting aspects and will be a benefit."

More WhatsUp Gold cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."

"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."

"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."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."

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

"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."

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

More Logpoint pricing and cost advice

"There are some subscription charges that are quite heavy. I need to pay for support every year and these charges can be quite expensive. Aside from the initial cost for the tool, you need to pay additionally for support."

"The price of WhatsUp Gold is good."

"The tool's price is reasonable. WhatsUp Gold is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"Pricing is reasonable compared to other products."

"The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."

"This is a well priced solution."

"The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."

"There is a license needed to use WhatsUp Gold."
