We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The search feature within AXON is pretty robust. It's actually very fast in comparison to that in the previous platform. It's going to really help with investigations when they get rules put into the system.""Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product.""For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."

"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts.""The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me.""The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good.""Splunk works based on parsing log files.""What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis.""The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk.""It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases.""Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up."

Cons
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.""I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon. Faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great.""It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."

More LogRhythm Axon Cons →

"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time.""A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down.""Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market.""The solution could improve by giving more email details.""The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost.""For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster.""There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side.""The solution should also have more advanced capabilities in comparison with QRadar, which offers Watson."
