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.

Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS, and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git repositories.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of customers recommended it, because of the built-in rules, and the out-of-the-box configuration is much better than Splunk, and given our team size and our internal resources, we made the decision to go with LogRhythm."
"The visibility that it gives us into all of our data at once."
"The product is great for medium to large-scale organizations."
"The log analysis feature is valuable."
"The user interface is good."
"For us, LogRhythm has given us the kind of insight we need to understand when those threats either are being recon-ed, found out, or when they're really trying a brute force attack to get at us."
"Technical support is very helpful and responsive."
"In terms of alarms and AI intelligence, we see that LogRhythm is giving more accurate and meaningful events compared to the others."
"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and Check Point OPSec Lea."
"We are seeing performance issues with the appliance."
"My big thing is the easability. I don't like to go to two different systems. The fat client that you have to install to configure it, then the web console which is just for reporting and analysis. These features need to collapse, and it needs to be in a single solution. Going through the web solution in the future is the way to do it, because right now, it is a bit cumbersome."
"Scalability has been a little tougher for us."
"I would like to see case management become more independent from LogRhythm itself."
"At times it gets a little clunky, or resource-intensive, but it works."
"Sometimes the error-logging is not altogether helpful. There have been many times where I've been disappointed, where I'll ramp an agent up to Verbose and it will say, "LogRhythm critical error, the agent won't bind to a NIC," or the like, and I end up with no really actionable or identifiable information coming in, even though I've ramped up the logging level."
"We would like to see a better base templates for reporting."
"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"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 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."
"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 would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"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 did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
