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

"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"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."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
"Falcon LogScale stores logs without heavy indexing and searches directly, making it very fast."
"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"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."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"The customer service team is excellent and they have resolved anything we have thrown at them in a timely fashion."
"It is a very good solution; it is very robust and very extensive."
"The vendor team was one of the best we have ever worked with and they were able to work through issues not covered in their implementation manuals quickly and without further support."
"The feature that makes it usable is the web interface."
"LogRhythm has increased productivity because all the tools that we need are in the web UI, allowing us to find threats on our network fast and efficiently."
"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."
"Overall, versus competitors, it is a lot easier to use, a lot more user friendly, but it still gives you a lot of flexibility to do whatever you want."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
 

Cons

"One more point about areas for improvement is the visualization depth. Splunk, which I used, has very good visualization compared to Falcon LogScale."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"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."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The integration could improve."
"We've had issues with scaling and local support."
"Lots of concern these days regarding vulnerability, and being able to interface with other types of applications when creating event logs."
"I have probably submitted half a dozen log parser requests, and I keep finding more stuff that we need to keep an eye on that doesn't have a definition in LogRhythm."
"The ability to customize certain features of the product."
"For instance, we were trying to deal with pass the hash, which is a very common exploit and LogRhythm tech support told us they were just going turn that rule off, that we can't use it."
"We would like to see a better base templates for reporting."
"I would say that the information is out there somewhere, but they don't have the best support site. They just don't."
"There used to be the ability to create alarms based on message text that was included in LR Version 6.x that has been removed in LogRhythm 7.x, and on that, I would like to see it added back."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"LogRhythm's licensing is based on MPS. There are some add-on features like advanced UEBA, the cloud component for advanced UEBA, and SIEM."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"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 rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
