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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find LogRhythm's log management capabilities to be beneficial."
"It's the best solution that I've ever used."
"The LogRhythm support system is phenomenal."
"It has helped us centralize and have better visibility into devices on our network. We are better able to respond to threats in a timely manner."
"It gives us insight into our entire installation, where we are multiple sites, going as far as the East Coast to the Central West Coast."
"We use this solution to examine disparate log sources and provide a cohesive method to search for anomalous behavior."
"Having a unified end-to-end platform is really important to me, because I am the only security professional at the college."
"The security operation center is excellent, and we can pick logs from any system, not only the IPS or firewall."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"My rating of eight out of 10 for LogRhythm is because, while I think the support is great, the solution is a little rough around the edges."
"I have Windows administrators who will remove the agent when they think that that's what's fouling up their upgrade or their install or their reconfiguration, etc. The first thing they do is to turn off the antivirus, turn down the firewall, and take off anything else. They don't realize that the LogRhythm agent is just sitting there monitoring. Most antivirus products have application protection features built-in where, if I'm an admin on a box, I can't uninstall antivirus. I need to have to the antivirus admin password to do that."
"We would like to see more things out of the console into the web UI. I guess this is what they are doing in 7.4."
"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."
"Probably the biggest improvement is their thin piece, which is their file integrity monitor that we use on some of our security servers. The data sets are extremely large, tons of files are being modified, deleted, created, and that product could use some more enhancing."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty complex."
"I think a must-have feature would be better reporting. The reports do not provide information such as, who are your top ten end users generating the most activity within the environment, or appliances, per se, so that's very limited."
"The main challenge with setting up LogRhythm is you cannot just put LogRhythm in and let it run."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
