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.

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.

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration
To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"LogRhythm is better than QRadar from the point of view of collecting Windows events."
"The fact we're able to create customized monitoring reports that extract info from event logs helps us a lot."
"The most valuable features would be the automation, reporting, and the support."
"We use this solution to examine disparate log sources and provide a cohesive method to search for anomalous behavior."
"Overall effectiveness is very good. I like how it is oriented to both analysts and technical support people. It's easily adopted by end users as much as by technologists."
"We have made this the foundation of our security intelligence within our organization, and it has allowed us to detect and remediate Advanced Persistent Threats."
"Their customer support is friendly and willing to help."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"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."
"Once you start using InsightIDR, which works hand in glove with InsightOps, you will feel like you were operating in the stone age before."
"The log aggregation and research capabilities are definitely what pays for itself."
"My advice to others is this is an easy-to-use solution and they should try it out."
"Easy to use and spend less time on setups/troubleshooting."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"It works with all our main applications, so the integration with those products is pretty seamless from my standpoint."
"Sumo Logic has absolutely improved our organization — 100% Sumo Logic is a great tool, it's absolutely necessary."
"There are a lot of things we like about this product."
 

Cons

"Right now I know there's a big issue with reporting. It's challenging, at least for us, to do some of the reporting within the system itself."
"Then, there is whole mention of hot versus warm and being able to keep data because SecondLook is terrible."
"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."
"We need to get better training for things like creating code and playlists. The way it's done now takes a long time."
"We're still struggling to get a real return on it and finding something that isn't false noise."
"Going into the beta, stability was very good, but in the beta it's not been as great for us lately."
"For our market, the solution is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could work on and improve their existing pricing plans to help make it more affordable in our country."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"There were some difficulties in product setup, but after those issues were resolved, there were no issues."
"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."
"The searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price."
"A more transparent roadmap as to what Sumo Logic Security is trying to achieve would be beneficial. Sumo often gives information in three-month cycles, which makes it hard for planning purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"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."
"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"The product is cheap."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"The product is costly."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
