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.

Customization and automation streamline workflows for seamless operations

The features of Rapid7 InsightOps that I have found most valuable are the predefined policies and the use of correlation rules, which are very valuable because they eliminate the need to spend time creating those rules. This feature detects insider threats or compromised credentials by using user behavior analytics, which can collect other compromise indicators. It makes it easier to install and implement this solution because you can run it as normal behavior of users and then switch off to look for the anomalous behavior of any entities, such as laptops and others. In any violation or restricted behavior, the system will notify you that something unusual is occurring. The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior. The automation features of Rapid7 InsightOps are quite satisfactory, as users appreciate these features, especially when integrating with the ticketing system. If something goes wrong, InsightOps will notify the ticketing system to create a ticket and assign it to the responsible person to handle the events found in the infrastructure. The customizable dashboards in Rapid7 InsightOps are quite valuable and interesting because SOC center operators spend most of their time investigating on those dashboards, making them easy to manage. Additionally, we can configure email reports for high-level talks, sending historical data without needing to look online, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a really good product with good support."

"This solution has been almost like a transformative change in how we detect and then respond to incidence."

"Over a period of time, LogRythm has improved a lot and the future, the road map of the product, really looks nice."

"It's given us a ton of insight that we didn't have before."

"One of the main features that I like about LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that there are a lot of pre-built pieces. Like with our AV, we didn't have to tell it how to read the logs; they already had it pre-made. So, we essentially just had to follow their guide to get the logs imported in and set up some rules for it. We've only had to manually create the parsing rules for a few of our vendors so that we could interpret the logs correctly. Most of them had already been pre-created for us."

"It has been the easiest SIEM platform that I have worked with or seen in production."

"In comparison to others, LogRhythm SIEM has certain features that other solutions are lacking; for example, user analytics and user behavior monitoring are features that some of the other SIEMs lack."

"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is customizable, simple to manage, and there are many features, and the solution does not require an expert to be able to use it, anyone can use it."

More LogRhythm SIEM pros

"My advice to others is this is an easy-to-use solution and they should try it out."

"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."

"I use it as a security incident and event management system, and it has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."

"We get way more out of it than we did with SecureWorks and we pay about a third of the price."

"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."

"Easy to use and spend less time on setups/troubleshooting."

"We can save logs as plain text."

"The log aggregation and research capabilities are definitely what pays for itself."

More Rapid7 InsightOps pros

Cons

"My biggest complaint is documentation. Everyone tells me, "We have documentation on the Community site." I have searched for different types of documentation on numerous occasions, and it might be there, but it's not easily findable."

"We tend to struggle; we do see performance issues fairly regularly."

"We have a lot of alarms that get overlooked, there's not a lot of prominence to them."

"The reporting on the dashboard should be improved from a management perspective. It would be helpful if they adjusted the colors and the presentation to make things clearer and easier to read."

"It will definitely help if the parsing side would be much easier, meaning it would be better if we could easily make adjustments on the parser, both on standard and non-standard log sources."

"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."

"Though we had some issues initially in terms of technical support, the expertise of technical people, but I am seeing that they have improved a lot now, so a lot of our questions and queries get solved with the technical support."

"More features that I would like to see more development in are the automation and the smart response."

More LogRhythm SIEM cons

"There were some difficulties in product setup, but after those issues were resolved, there were no issues."

"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."

"The searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."

"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."

"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."

"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."

"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price a six out of ten."

"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."

"The product is inexpensive than other tools."

"It is a very cost-effective solution."

"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."

"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."

"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."

"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."
