Advanced threat detection has improved investigations but complexity and resource use need refinement
LogRhythm SIEM could learn from Wazuh, as Wazuh has a built-in mechanism that allows you to write custom scripting and scripts through languages that Wazuh can then trigger, which is somewhat better and more matured in Wazuh compared to LogRhythm SIEM. Additionally, the parsers that I write for LogRhythm SIEM tend to get quite complex for log parsing, while with Wazuh, I can achieve a similar parser with much less complexity. Those are some of the pain points that some of our customers have been expressing. If LogRhythm SIEM could make a lightweight version of their solution, that would be quite competitive because some of my customers have a very large need but refuse to go with LogRhythm SIEM due to its complexity and high resource intensity. Therefore, they have been moved to Wazuh, which I am deploying for them. Even though LogRhythm SIEM has extremely good capabilities, their resource utilization is too heavy for certain customers, so if they could make a separate, lightweight version, that would be quite beneficial.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The LogRhythm support system is phenomenal."
"For the same price, we have been able to go from a SIEM that could only manage about 20 percent of our environment to a full 100 percent coverage of all the devices on our network."
"It has saved us a lot of time."
"We raise a ticket to LogRhythm, and they will give us their support."
"The AI engine is what I like the most; it’s all in how LogRhythm correlates the events that it is receiving, taking a lot of guesswork away from the analyst so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"I didn't know what to expect back in 2015 when we bought the product, but it's showing to be agile, scalable, and the people are very knowledgeable."
"We looked at LogRhythm, and LogRhythm seemed to have a lot of the stuff built in, canned already."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications; it seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial, and I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
 

Cons

"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is currently based only on the Windows platform. This means that some of our customers have to purchase a Windows license elsewhere. If LogRhythm can move to a Linux platform or a proprietary platform, it would be very helpful."
"Scalability-wise, it's not that great, but integration with other solutions is pretty easy."
"The reporting aspect is difficult to use and very difficult to get your own reports."
"When we originally got LogRhythm, their tech support was fantastic, and I loved them. Now, we don't quite get as quick of a response. I've been disappointed in the more recent tech support. When you call in, they'll say that they will get you somebody, and you'll finally get someone who will contact you back a day or so later. Whereas before, I would get help right away."
"The SOAR capabilities need improvements as they currently require programming knowledge."
"We have a lot of alarms that get overlooked, there's not a lot of prominence to them."
"When we are on-prem, it's a little complicated and has a lot of challenges that the customer doesn't want."
"I don't think the cloud model in LogRhythm is developed enough."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The scalability is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"Look closely at the cost of licensing of other products. This should include setups and the need for support services. I did a RFQ to 2 other vendors before choosing this product."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
