Advanced threat hunting has improved visibility and has simplified custom query automation
CrowdStrike is ahead of the game. If I may say anything about Falcon LogScale to improve the services, I would talk about the way you develop parsers. The documentation should be more straightforward. It is not easy to quickly find the documentation, especially if you are using CrowdStrike. Most customers use Falcon LogScale because of CrowdStrike. The documentation of Falcon LogScale is not on the CrowdStrike portal just like the rest of Falcon documentation. I usually find that the main Falcon LogScale documentation is found on the Falcon LogScale website itself. I think there should be a link or direct documentation within the CrowdStrike pages. It is not necessarily a fault. If you find where the documentation resides, you can trace it to what they are doing. However, for the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"Falcon LogScale seems to be a better option with better visibility when it comes to the dashboard and the kill chain process, including the attack surface."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
"We take in around 750 million logs a day. We have a lot of products and that would be a lot of different panes of glass that we would have to look through otherwise. By centralizing, we can triage and take steps much more quickly than if we tried to man that many interfaces that come with the products."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operations issues which need to be addressed."
"The correlation engine is extremely valuable because it uses machine learning to process information from the central manager and identifies issues in the network."
"In terms of security, LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is great."
"In general, the visibility of events and advanced analysis of events are good."
"The most valuable feature of LogRhythm for me is the ability to correlate logs throughout many different log sources."
"The ability for me to go into the Web UI, and just learn what's going on in my environment."
"We have seen a massive increase in the amount of data that we can collect, the type of things that we can see, the way we can look at logs, the way we can get alerts, and the way can create our own customer roles, which has allowed us to customize the work in our environment."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"The integration could improve."
"The price could be lower."
"That is a difficult question regarding Falcon LogScale. That is really a question for the professionals, and I am not a professional, so I do not know."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"For our market, the solution is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could work on and improve their existing pricing plans to help make it more affordable in our country."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"Stability has probably been one area where Health Checks have not been great with the product. We have been told that they are going to improve Health Checks on product, though we do struggle with them on a daily basis."
"It will definitely help if the parsing side would be much easier, meaning it would be better if we could easily make adjustments on the parser, both on standard and non-standard log sources."
"LogRhythm SIEM can improve its user interface. The current interface is quite complex and can be challenging to navigate. While it offers many valuable features, understanding how to access and utilize them efficiently takes time. Simplifying the client console's user interface would significantly enhance the user experience and make it more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"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."
"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"I have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. We went from not detecting them to detecting them. We can actually pick up what is anomalous in our network now."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
