User-friendly dashboard and machine learning capabilities improve threat hunting efficiency
LogRhythm SIEM has strong machine-learning capabilities with behavioral rules and analysis. The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient. Analytics and behavioral analysis help me save time with rule creation. Its scalability allows me to add components as needed. Overall, LogRhythm SIEM offers end-to-end visibility with a reasonable price.

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.
BiswabhanuPanda - PeerSpot reviewer
You can use it for everything, incident response, automated responses, alerts, visibility
I would give the product an overall rating of eight out of 10. We have 10 people currently using this software. Six are on the list, plus two managers and two IR experts. It's not possible for just one person to maintain the solution, and it's not really allowed. It has to be a team effort, with two or three people. It's not about users. Helix works differently, collecting logs from 6,000 different sources integrated with the solution. The licensing is not based on users; it's based on APIs. It's more of a SIEM SGL type of platform. It collects logs from around 6,000. But have around 10 people maintaining that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a SIEM, probably the best feature is that it can be tuned effectively. There are very few SIEMs out there that can be effectively tuned to provide you with meaningful information and not be overwhelmed."
"Technical support is very helpful and responsive."
"It seems like it will scale easily with the way our environment is set up."
"LogRhythm's GUI is easy to explore. We also like other features, such as its integration with other security solutions, log correlation, and the deployment of use cases."
"Overall, my rating for LogRhythm SIEM is nine out of ten."
"I like LogRhythm's ease of use. The solution has improved compared to previous versions. It had many issues before, like integration, the console, creating reports, false positives, etc. The AI engine has made it stronger in the latest version."
"The product is great for medium to large-scale organizations."
"Its benefits are broad. The solution isn't necessarily made to do any one thing, but it can do anything you tell it to. It is able to tackle any different type or size of job."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The support system is very good."
"It is stable."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"I advise other customers to choose Trellix Helix, as it improves operations significantly with more efficient responses required for various scenarios they face."
"The integration is very useful and very easy. You can have an API connection with any cloud and I'll be able to do both ways of communication with the help of APA."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"It is kind of simple and very easily deployable. You can start working with it very fast."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
 

Cons

"We had a little bit of difficulty implementing a disaster recovery situation because it was leveraging only Microsoft native DNS and it wouldn't work with our Infoblox DNS deployment that we use in our environment. They've been working on that behind the scenes."
"Appliance-based setups can sometimes pose scalability issues"
"I would like it to do a lot of the automation (which I still need to learn more about), because I am essentially a one man shop doing all the jobs. I'd like for it to be able to do more for me."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM could improve by adding more applications for the banking sector. There are not any custom applications at this time."
"It should have some more message monitoring features. It can also have some free message monitoring tools."
"I would like to see our vulnerabilities counter. We will be using Tenable to fill that void right now."
"One area for improvement in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's a Windows-based tool, and I feel it should be on the Linux operating system instead. Another area for improvement in the tool is the UI. There should be minor changes in the UI to make it better, though I like the dashboards in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM."
"We do about 750 million a day and some days we do 715 million. Some days we do 820 million or 1.2 billion. But there's no way to drill in and find out: "Where did I get 400,000 extra logs today?" What was going on in my environment that I was able to absorb that peak? I have no way to identify it without running reports, which will produce a long-running PDF that I have to somehow compare to another long-running PDF... I would like to see like profiling behavior awareness around systems like they've been gunned to do around users with UEBA."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"The scalability is limited."
"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."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
"While we have top customer support and this solution is highly beneficial, there is room for improvement due to the fusion of McAfee and FireEye, which has caused some lapses in support."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"We often rely on Martins to create logs and provide professional threat services rather than basic support."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
"We have certain challenges with integrating the SOAR platform with multiple vendors."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
 

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."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"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."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
