Featured Reviews

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"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."
"It has far exceeded what I thought it was going to do for me in my job role."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"It supports most standard log sources."
"The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions because of a request for specialised schemes for configuration report extraction and searching. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the mailbox data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorises data based on different types, which include cold, warm and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. If suddenly someone accesses your side or an unusual traffic is recorded from a user the solution flags it very effectively."
"If I look back to my other SIEM solution providers, the one we had before this, it's light years difference."
"As far as technical support, professional support, and overall organizational support, LogRhythm has probably been one of the best companies that I have worked with since I have been in technology."
"The dashboards and the AI Engine."
"Customer Service: It's the best there is. Technical Support: It's the best there is."
 

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."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"In terms of just stability of the product, sometimes we have run into some issues there."
"More help and assistance with some of the open source products, everything seems to be focused on Windows versus giving some guidance and some documentation on how to use it."
"We would like to see more things out of the console into the web UI. I guess this is what they are doing in 7.4."
"I would like to see our vulnerabilities counter. We will be using Tenable to fill that void right now."
"Logging improvements. I think that the template to reporting is just difficult, it's hard to go back."
"We have run into problems with stability going through upgrade processes. Recently, we have been on the front edge of the upgrade path. When that happens we tend to run into issues either with certain functionality not working after the upgrades or stability issues because of the upgrades."
"Retrieving logs that have been archived can be a difficult and time consuming process."
"My rating of eight out of 10 for LogRhythm is because, while I think the support is great, the solution is a little rough around the edges."
 

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."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"Look closely at the cost of licensing of other products. This should include setups and the need for support services. I did a RFQ to 2 other vendors before choosing this product."
"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."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"The support which allows more customized to the environment when we are deploying new systems is called Professional Service and is very expensive. The technical annual support and there is an annual fee."
