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.

AI triage has streamlined real-time alert monitoring and has improved on-call incident response
The best features Panther offers are AI Triage, the ability to comment on our activities, and seamless integration with other communication sources such as PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and potentially Slack, showcasing the flexibility we have in using this tool. The most valuable feature for my team is definitely AI Triage, which helps save a lot of time by eliminating the need for manual research regarding patterns that may be repeated, making our work easier and more efficient. Panther has positively impacted my organization as it serves as one of the main sources for triaging real-time incidents. Panther definitely plays a key role in the work that we do. Specific outcomes that show how Panther has helped our organization include saving a lot of time, especially since the AI Triage feature reduces the necessity to reach out to others for clarity, which it occasionally accomplishes on its own. To be honest, it does lack some aspects. For example, if it could access our organizational knowledge, including the Jira database, it might better analyze incidents and determine whether they are false positives or not by using more contextual data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"So far, my experience has been seamless."
"The GUI is very intuitive and the solution has good integration."
"The ability to have all of our logs in one place is a big thing for me."
"The ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"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."
"We are really happy with the product; we've been a customer for a number of years now and really haven't had any issues."
"The correlation engine is extremely valuable because it uses machine learning to process information from the central manager and identifies issues in the network."
"We have to be able to show the evidence, and LogRhythm does a great job of putting it forward and making it easy to create reports with nice looking dashboards, which show off what we are doing as a security program."
"The AI Triage feature saves a considerable amount of time, and if it were to incorporate organizational knowledge, it could provide finer-tuned results."
"We have seen a return on investment measured primarily through SOC efficiency and productivity improvements, with teams observing a twenty to thirty-five percent improvement in investigation efficiency depending on the environment and product maturity."
"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement with separate running sources or better integration."
"Then, there is whole mention of hot versus warm and being able to keep data because SecondLook is terrible."
"The largest room for improvement would be inside the web platform, being able to have a longer log live time."
"If there are interruptions in the data downloads or hosts that don't report to LogRhythm from the CDE, the utility of the LogRhythm Reports declines dramatically."
"Granted, we haven't enabled the UEBA module, but we're forwarding all our proxy logs to LogRhythm and we have a really hard time pulling those proxy logs back out of LogRhythm."
"For our market, the solution is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could work on and improve their existing pricing plans to help make it more affordable in our country."
"Just integration into our ticketing system, which we're using service now."
"Easier creation of rules and parsing, and more user-friendly."
"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"Regarding Panther's accuracy and reliability of output, I would rate it at 70 percent since, at times, it identifies findings as valid when they may actually be false positives, which we have experienced in a few cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."
"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."
"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."
