Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Good integration, simple to maintain, and very stable
Scalability shouldn't be a problem, at least for the size of network team that I work with. Right now we have between 400 and 500 users. This is deployed in a network that is actually about 500 users. We don't plan to increase usage. We're already using it as fully as we can and we don't have any more room. We might look at all the Microsoft programs that relate to office 365, like the ATP, because there is a difference between the ATA and the ATP. We are going to look and see whether there's any gaps that we can close. I think if you compare ATA with the actual ATP it's basically the same functionality. One is more on-premises versus the cloud. Since we are progressively in moving to the cloud, we might look at the ATP, which integrates better with the Microsoft cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"I definitely think that it's good at finding things automatically, versus trying to define it."
"It has also measurably decreased our mean time to detect threats by about 50 percent, and helped increase staff productivity, saving about an hour per day."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to report on questionable activity."
"The solution works well when used with other Microsoft solutions."
"I like the fact that it looks for some of those very, very obscure techniques and attacks like golden tickets; those are very difficult attacks to spot and with Microsoft ATA I was able to have visibility over those kinds of techniques and attacks."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
 

Cons

"We're now exploring the cloud version but unfortunately we've found that they are lagging in that space."
"The only problem is that the agents consume too much memory and system resources; the memory and resource consumption is high."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"Better dashboarding. At the moment, the dashboard only has an hour."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"There are occasions where it generates some false positives and you have to embark into figuring it out. You need to find out if it was a true alert or a false positive. It's a little bit cumbersome in that area."
"It would be ideal if the interface allowed for more granular configurations. For example, if I were to set a rule that is a deviation from the pre-defined rules in the Microsoft product, there's conflict."
"The software is not as advanced as many competitors."
"Some of the newer features are not completely there yet... For example, there's a tool that allows you to grade your overall internal security and I don't feel that it's completely accurate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"I believe we are looking into new licenses. They may be called the E5. Honestly, I don't have it on top of my mind, but I think it's around seven to $10 a user per month."
