Pros & Cons summary

Logpoint offers excellent reporting features aiding compliance with cost-effectiveness in mind. This platform excels in combining SIEM and SOAR along with top-notch machine learning, enhancing endpoint and user activity monitoring. While highly scalable for medium operations, challenges include limited third-party integration, difficulties in parsing non-standard logs, and log management inefficiencies. Though praised for many features, stability issues persist, and UEBA capabilities are weaker compared to competitors like Exabeam.

It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline.

It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them.

The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs.

Nowadays the trend is going towards the ransomware and the endpoint detection and response. So if they added something for that, that will be very, very good.

I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products.

The general public wasn't looking for that type of product unless you had a company that was medical or financial and needed 24-hour responsiveness.

The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast.
