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.

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

"It supports most standard log sources."
"It has definitely improved our security program's maturity, because we have visibility that we didn't have before."
"LogRhythm was really the first major product that we bought and the installation was awesome; it went as expected, moved along quickly, and provided value as soon as we were done with the installation."
"So far, my experience has been seamless."
"The correlation engine is extremely valuable because it uses machine learning to process information from the central manager and identifies issues in the network."
"Now, the SOC have custom dashboards, showing them a lot more useful information, puts the information in context, and they are actively using it for proactive investigations, rather than just responding to alarms."
"The user interface is good."
"LogRhythm's dashboard is very good compared to other SIEM solutions since it shows many details."
"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

"In terms of improvement, their community boards, where to go find things, as a customer. As they're growing and they're moving stuff around, it would be nice if we knew exactly where to find what."
"The main area of improvement is that the client must be installed on the computer for all of the functions to work."
"I would say that the information is out there somewhere, but they don't have the best support site. They just don't."
"Just integration into our ticketing system, which we're using service now."
"The biggest thing I want is, right now you have thick console and the web console. Most of the reporting has to be done in the thick console. I'd love more reporting in the web console."
"We're still struggling to get a real return on it and finding something that isn't false noise."
"We have a lot of alarms that get overlooked, there's not a lot of prominence to them."
"Better correlation of all events: We seem to get a lot of misinterpreted data coming from multiple sources."
"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

"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."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"I have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. We went from not detecting them to detecting them. We can actually pick up what is anomalous in our network now."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"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."
