Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases
Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.

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

"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."
"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."
"LogRhythm allows our IT/IS teams to quickly identify issues across the enterprise."
"So far, my experience has been seamless."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management, and because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"Favorite feature of the product is the ease of administration."
"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."
"It has centralized monitoring for our security operations. Therefore, it improves our analysts' work."
"Having a unified end-to-end platform is really important to me, because I am the only security professional at the college."
"I like LogRhythm's ease of use. The solution has improved compared to previous versions. It had many issues before, like integration, the console, creating reports, false positives, etc. The AI engine has made it stronger in the latest version."
 

Cons

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."
"This product is in general for medium-sized companies. For bigger companies with millions of logs coming in, it just cannot support them."
"My main thing I'd like to see is, when you're using canned reports, that they're not blank."
"Definitely expansion on log parsing. There are some obscure log sources that we don't currently have parsers for."
"More seminars. Reporting: A reporting tool would be good for us, especially if we have better knowledge of them."
"The reporting on the dashboard should be improved from a management perspective. It would be helpful if they adjusted the colors and the presentation to make things clearer and easier to read."
"The initial setup is complex. We are using a LogRhythm partner, at least for the first three years, to help with the monitoring and the deployment of it. We are not a big enough environment where we have people that we can dedicate to it right now."
"Right now I know there's a big issue with reporting. It's challenging, at least for us, to do some of the reporting within the system itself."
"I work in a highly regulated industry. I know the product has compliance mechanisms, but being able to get more governance surrounding some of the compliance would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the pricing between six and seven."
"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."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. As it comes out new features and new releases, the window is becoming a lot narrower because you can pivot a lot more with the data. Therefore, the new features and enhancements are reducing that."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
