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."
"The ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"LogRhythm has been really a good partner, they've reached out, they're always wanting information, "How we can improve? How can we do this or that?""
"I would rate the product a ten out of ten. The solution is very user-friendly and straightforward. The tool's report customization is interesting."
"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."
"It is stable; there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, so it's reliable and the performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is that we can alternate incident automations."
"For the operations and monitoring pieces, going from what we had before to it being the central component for us, it has really helped us become more mature in those areas."
"All in all, it's one of the best SIEMs, as a total package, that I've worked with."
 

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."
"Right now there is the concern about being able to gather all of the data into the system."
"NextGen SIEM's integration with other software is good but could be improved."
"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and Check Point OPSec Lea."
"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 log source support is good, there's always room for improvement. One of the areas that LogRhythm's kind of pushing really hard right now is to integrate more cloud solutions, so your Office 365, your Azure, your AWS, making sure that those SaaS and other cloud platforms are getting the data you need into that platform."
"I do think there is room for improvement because the system is still running on the Windows Server platform. The problem with running on Windows is that it is not that good for scaling and providing for big deployment environments."
"Sometimes the Platform Manager crashes because it's built around Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"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."
