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

"Everyone I have worked with knows their stuff, which is great."
"It is a really good product with good support."
"LogRhythm SIEM has strong machine-learning capabilities with behavioral rules and analysis."
"The content in the community is very helpful and useful for new users."
"It is a big project, but very worthwhile, and LogRhythm has plenty of documentation, support people, professional services, and classes that can help get a business implemented and push them all the way to completion."
"It's the best solution that I've ever used."
"What I found most valuable in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's user-friendly. I also like its dashboard, which shows all the logs and information I want to see."
"The AI engine is what I like the most; it’s all in how LogRhythm correlates the events that it is receiving, taking a lot of guesswork away from the analyst so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel."
"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
 

Cons

"The biggest thing that I think needs improvement is reporting in the Web Console."
"I work in a highly regulated industry. I know the product has compliance mechanisms, but being able to get more governance surrounding some of the compliance would be helpful."
"There used to be the ability to create alarms based on message text that was included in LR Version 6.x that has been removed in LogRhythm 7.x, and on that, I would like to see it added back."
"The reporting aspect is difficult to use and very difficult to get your own reports."
"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."
"Right now you have to apply what they call RIM policies, Registry Integrity Monitoring policies, one agent at a time. If you have thousands of endpoint agents, you have to touch each one of those one at a time."
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM. I can see in their roadmap that they're trying to address a lot of these things, and have these technologies built into the solution, because there is no point in going to another vendor or opening up a second window to obtain the data that you need."
"The initial setup is not so easy because it is quite a process."
"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."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"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."
"NextGen SIEM's pricing is moderate."
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
