Zuhair Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Advanced threat detection has improved investigations but complexity and resource use need refinement
LogRhythm SIEM could learn from Wazuh, as Wazuh has a built-in mechanism that allows you to write custom scripting and scripts through languages that Wazuh can then trigger, which is somewhat better and more matured in Wazuh compared to LogRhythm SIEM. Additionally, the parsers that I write for LogRhythm SIEM tend to get quite complex for log parsing, while with Wazuh, I can achieve a similar parser with much less complexity. Those are some of the pain points that some of our customers have been expressing. If LogRhythm SIEM could make a lightweight version of their solution, that would be quite competitive because some of my customers have a very large need but refuse to go with LogRhythm SIEM due to its complexity and high resource intensity. Therefore, they have been moved to Wazuh, which I am deploying for them. Even though LogRhythm SIEM has extremely good capabilities, their resource utilization is too heavy for certain customers, so if they could make a separate, lightweight version, that would be quite beneficial.

Pros

"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."
"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"The log analysis feature is valuable."
"The AI engine is what I like the most; it’s all in how LogRhythm correlates the events that it is receiving, taking a lot of guesswork away from the analyst so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel."
"From a performance standpoint, I have no problems recommending LogRhythm because it allows me to get in under the hood and tweak some things."
"It makes it possible to stay aware of much more of what's going on; we get an overview, a macro view that we can zoom in on as opposed to prior to that when we had individual panes of glass and might be stuck in the firewall interface for half a day while something going on is not getting addressed that we really should probably investigate."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"A lot of it is being a single point of log management for the whole company, not only for our compliance, but basically it has become an operational tool for our company, for our day-to-day stuff."
"All in all, it's one of the best SIEMs, as a total package, that I've worked with."
"Compliance reporting is another great feature of this product. It has built in reports right out of the box."
 

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"The main challenge with setting up LogRhythm is you cannot just put LogRhythm in and let it run."
"The responses provided by the cloud team are inefficient."
"I have had a lot of trouble with stability, perfect timing."
"It is a little hard to get integrated."
"Ease and setup would be a major improvement because it took over a week to get it all up and running, and that didn't even count tweaking it and getting it all set up for my environment."
"The ability to customize certain features of the product."
"Sometimes the Platform Manager crashes because it's built around Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"The license cost is around $10 per MPS."
"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."
"The nice thing about LogRhythm is you can either use the agents, getting a certain number of agents with your license depending on how you want to go, and those agents do a lot of cool things, or you can use CIS Log host, then you have like an unlimited number of them."
"I would recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
