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.
Subhayu Chakraborty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"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."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"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."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The best features in Splunk User Behavior Analytics include anomaly detection, behavioral profiling, and risk scoring and prioritization functionality."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
 

Cons

"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"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 would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The dashboard part could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
