It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities
Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."
"We were able to use the product to identify two security issues already."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"It is the most valuable tool that I have seen of the SIEM solutions."
"I'm glad we purchased it, wished we would have gone with outside monitoring instead of inhouse and there is a lot to learn; great product though."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
"The solution is stable."
"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."
 

Cons

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."
"The solution doesn't scale well if you are talking about enterprises using it."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"We have encountered stability issues; we have a high volume of logs passing through our SIEM and the default configuration couldn't handle all the data."
"I knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
"Reporting still needs a lot of work, especially on the vulnerability side."
"They should improve the reporting capabilities. Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
