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.

Has good filtering and rating features and helps with resource and load management

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AXON has the ability to add and compare use cases."

"It has improved the organization a great deal because we're able to see much more data, see what activity is actually being found in the network, what type of threats we're encountering, and whatever would not have been seen previously because it aggregates all the logs together and flags us according to the alerts being triggered."

"I would recommend LogRhythm."

"LogRhythm has absolutely helped improve the security of our organization."

"It has allowed us to dive deeper into our network and figure out what is going on by parsing logs properly and being able to reduce the time it takes to work cases down from seven days to approximately two days."

"I see LogRhythm SIEM as value for money; I would rate it eight out of ten."

"I would recommend NextGen SIEM to other users as it is a leading solution with new features at a better price than competitors like Splunk and QRadar."

"LogRhythm is a perfect example of "Garbage In, Garbage Out" in Information Security—LogRhythm reports on the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) activity are only as reliable as the data coming in."

More LogRhythm SIEM pros

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

"We switched from New Relic and Loggly as it provides us more info at a lower price."

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"What stood out to us were the metrics and granular details we received."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The deployment is very fast."

More Stackify pros

Cons

"I do think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."

"My big thing is the easability. I don't like to go to two different systems. The fat client that you have to install to configure it, then the web console which is just for reporting and analysis. These features need to collapse, and it needs to be in a single solution. Going through the web solution in the future is the way to do it, because right now, it is a bit cumbersome."

"LogRhythm SIEM works well, but the biggest pain point is retrieving logs using multiple filters."

"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."

"I have Windows administrators who will remove the agent when they think that that's what's fouling up their upgrade or their install or their reconfiguration, etc. The first thing they do is to turn off the antivirus, turn down the firewall, and take off anything else. They don't realize that the LogRhythm agent is just sitting there monitoring. Most antivirus products have application protection features built-in where, if I'm an admin on a box, I can't uninstall antivirus. I need to have to the antivirus admin password to do that."

"Lots of concern these days regarding vulnerability, and being able to interface with other types of applications when creating event logs."

"One of the things I find that would be helpful is the GLPR information, to be able to understand what is actually being processed."

"I would really love to be able to take some of the data and not have to export it to a CSV file, so I can pull it into Excel to turn it into some other kind of graph."

More LogRhythm SIEM cons

"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."

"The search feature could be improved."

"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."

"Better mobile support."

"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."

"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."

"On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the pricing of this solution as a seven - not too expensive but not cheap either. Regarding licensing costs, it varies depending on factors like being a partner or an end user, but there are no additional costs aside from standard licensing fees for the basic SIEM solution."

"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."

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

"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."

"The product is inexpensive than other tools."

"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."

More LogRhythm SIEM pricing and cost advice

"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
