Featured Reviews

Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

Good value, easy to use, and easy to deploy
In terms of what can be improved, that is a question I think the end users can tell you better. I'm not the end-user for this system. However, I can say that it needs to be more scalable. I think they already have a good value proposition in terms of being a hybrid model, and the reporting is okay, as well. It could have better integration with other SIEMs, but this integration has to come from the SIEM side, not ObserveIT.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"The search feature needs to be improved."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
