Tool consistently aids in effective threat detection and monitoring but could benefit from improved log source management and resource optimization
One major area for improvement in LogRhythm SIEM is the lack of volume measurement capability in terms of storage. There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments. This information is crucial for planning future storage needs and scalability. The system monitor (collector) agent has issues with resource consumption. Even when not actively collecting data, the agent continues to consume significant CPU and memory resources, which can be particularly problematic for small business environments with limited resources. LogRhythm SIEM could improve by adding more default device support. While they have good default settings for devices such as Palo Alto firewalls, custom log sources often require extensive work. Increasing the number of supported devices with built-in policies and functionality would reduce the need for custom work. Competitive SIEM tools often provide more comprehensive coverage for various devices and vendors.

It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities
Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of the feedback we've received from the end-user and our own experience with the deployment process and manageability, everything is great."
"The fact we're able to create customized monitoring reports that extract info from event logs helps us a lot."
"LogRhythm SIEM's automated response capabilities help organizations mitigate threats through alerts based on specific use cases and monitoring requirements."
"Support after implementation is probably the biggest."
"LogRhythm has been really a good partner, they've reached out, they're always wanting information, "How we can improve? How can we do this or that?""
"The most valuable feature is scheduling the KB update, which reduces administrative effort."
"Hands down, one of the best security platforms I've seen, easy to use, easy to scale, with huge visibility into your network so you just see everything and you see it easily."
"The security operation center is excellent, and we can pick logs from any system, not only the IPS or firewall."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."
"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
 

Cons

"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM could improve by adding more applications for the banking sector. There are not any custom applications at this time."
"Move it to Linux. I would like to see it get off the SQL Server."
"The log source support is good, there's always room for improvement. One of the areas that LogRhythm's kind of pushing really hard right now is to integrate more cloud solutions, so your Office 365, your Azure, your AWS, making sure that those SaaS and other cloud platforms are getting the data you need into that platform."
"We need to get better training for things like creating code and playlists. The way it's done now takes a long time."
"In the next release, I would certainly like to see more HIPAA compliance. I would also like to see more integration with Palo Alto Networks, particularly their Traps, which is their endpoint solution."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"The system monitor (collector) agent has issues with resource consumption. Even when not actively collecting data, the agent continues to consume significant CPU and memory resources, which can be particularly problematic for small business environments with limited resources."
"There have been issues with the hardware which has resulted in the LRM going down a few times."
"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
 

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."
"The nice thing about LogRhythm is you can either use the agents, getting a certain number of agents with your license depending on how you want to go, and those agents do a lot of cool things, or you can use CIS Log host, then you have like an unlimited number of them."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"I would recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
