Tool consistently aids in effective threat detection and monitoring but could benefit from improved log source management and resource optimization
One major area for improvement in LogRhythm SIEM is the lack of volume measurement capability in terms of storage. There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments. This information is crucial for planning future storage needs and scalability. 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. LogRhythm SIEM could improve by adding more default device support. While they have good default settings for devices such as Palo Alto firewalls, custom log sources often require extensive work. Increasing the number of supported devices with built-in policies and functionality would reduce the need for custom work. Competitive SIEM tools often provide more comprehensive coverage for various devices and vendors.

A highly scalable solution that is easy to manage and super easy to set up
We use Snare for picking up Windows logs, and we used to use it for SQL as well. We had used it for Linux once or twice. We're mainly using it for Windows and Windows flat files The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's reliable and the performance is good."
"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 vendor team was one of the best we have ever worked with and they were able to work through issues not covered in their implementation manuals quickly and without further support."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"Being able to see when one of our assets is down and being able to restart it really quickly has been a definite benefit."
"We went with LogRhythm because of cost, administration, and ease of use when you're in the tool."
"LogRhythm's dashboard is very good compared to other SIEM solutions since it shows many details."
"The most valuable features would be the automation, reporting, and the support."
"The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have security value."
"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."
"Snare has good agents, especially for Windows."
 

Cons

"The responses provided by the cloud team are inefficient."
"For me it would be the efficiency and signing up and standing up systems, as well as a little bit cleaner on case management."
"Their ticketing system for managing cases can be improved. The current system works and gets the job done, but it is very bare-bones and basic."
"Scalability is not great, at the moment."
"A lot of times they'll say something is coming out in a certain release and then we get to that release and they say, "No, we're pushing it back to a coming release.""
"Better knowledge transfer during implementation. We definitely thought it was complex when we initially set it up, but that is usually just a single pain problem."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is currently based only on the Windows platform. This means that some of our customers have to purchase a Windows license elsewhere. If LogRhythm can move to a Linux platform or a proprietary platform, it would be very helpful."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."
"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit."
"The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"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 comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"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."
"Snare is a cheap solution because a lot of customers are using it."
"Snare has reasonable pricing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Snare's pricing a four out of ten."
