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

"Overall, versus competitors, it is a lot easier to use, a lot more user friendly, but it still gives you a lot of flexibility to do whatever you want."
"LogRhythm meets our problem statement, as a solution."
"We went through a competitive comparison of the three leading platforms out there, and it was an easy win, not only from the technology side, but from the company with its support."
"Currently, we are in the implementation phase. LogRhythm is better than QRadar from the point of view of collecting Windows events. It has a much higher view. You can enable monitoring by default."
"It is stable; there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, so it's reliable and the performance is good."
"This solution has been almost like a transformative change in how we detect and then respond to incidence."
"LogRhythm has shown to us, to this point in time, that it has the capabilities of being able to deliver actionable intelligence to the security engineers and analysts."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling the KB update, which reduces administrative effort."
"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
 

Cons

"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
"We've tried to work with a couple of engineering department guys there. We've called them and called them but we never hear anything back."
"The reporting engine is poor in comparison to other areas. It should be moved to the web interface to improve its functionality and usability."
"Retrieving logs that have been archived can be a difficult and time consuming process."
"I have probably submitted half a dozen log parser requests, and I keep finding more stuff that we need to keep an eye on that doesn't have a definition in LogRhythm."
"When we had version 7.2.6, there were a lot of issues deploying that version and with the indexing."
"I would like a more fuller implementation of STIX/TAXII so I can pull in some of the government lists without having to go implement a whole new STIX/TAXII platform."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"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."
"The support which allows more customized to the environment when we are deploying new systems is called Professional Service and is very expensive. The technical annual support and there is an annual fee."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
