Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.

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

"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"The vendor team was one of the best we have ever worked with and they were able to work through issues not covered in their implementation manuals quickly and without further support."
"The most valuable feature I get out of the LogRhythm platform is being able to take machine data and present it in a format that's easy to understand, easy to analyze, easy to pivot through to get answers to the questions that I had that I'm investigating, whether they're security related or operationally related."
"Compared to every other product we have, LogRhythm support is the best."
"I would recommend NextGen SIEM to other users as it is a leading solution with new features at a better price than competitors like Splunk and QRadar."
"The Web Console is my favorite. It enables me, at a glance, to see the health of the environments."
"Our impression is the solution will be excellent toward meeting our existing security challenges."
"Having a unified end-to-end platform is really important to me, because I am the only security professional at the college."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"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."
"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."
 

Cons

"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
"I would really like to see some type of group or global management for RIM policies,"
"I would really love to be able to take some of the data and not have to export it to a CSV file, so I can pull it into Excel to turn it into some other kind of graph."
"Sometimes the Platform Manager crashes because it's built around Windows."
"I have had a lot of trouble with stability, perfect timing."
"More help and assistance with some of the open source products, everything seems to be focused on Windows versus giving some guidance and some documentation on how to use it."
"My big thing is the easability. I don't like to go to two different systems."
"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."
"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."

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"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 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."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
