A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

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 fact that your investigations can be saved into a single query string that you can copy and share with your teammates is going to be a game changer."
"The search feature within Axon is pretty robust; it's actually very fast in comparison to the previous platform and is going to exponentially help the investigation times for the SOC analysts and for just pulling logs and getting data."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"It is a big project, but very worthwhile, and LogRhythm has plenty of documentation, support people, professional services, and classes that can help get a business implemented and push them all the way to completion."
"For us, LogRhythm has given us the kind of insight we need to understand when those threats either are being recon-ed, found out, or when they're really trying a brute force attack to get at us."
"LogRhythm SIEM has improved our organization by allowing us to bring in very widely diverse log sources, correlate them, and very easily create rules around alerting."
"All in all, it's one of the best SIEMs, as a total package, that I've worked with."
"We use this solution to examine disparate log sources and provide a cohesive method to search for anomalous behavior."
"The consolidation of the logs and being able to manage the items we have coming in -- all in one product -- has really helped this company a lot."
"What I found most helpful out of it is the ability to see all of the same data, that I would get from my appliances, in one place."
"Having a unified end-to-end platform is really important to me, because I am the only security professional at the college."
 

Cons

"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon, and faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
"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."
"It should be improved for automated setup and auto-configuration. There should be ease of integration and ease of setup."
"Out of 10, I would give it an eight. We upgraded our firewall and that broke our parsing rules and it took a while to get that all fixed, but other than that it's been great."
"NextGen SIEM has separate rules for AI, advanced intelligence, and MP rules - it would be better to have a centralized way to write the rules and create alarms."
"When we had version 7.2.6, there were a lot of issues deploying that version and with the indexing. The indexer was unstable. So, we were not able to use the platform when we were on that version until we were able to upgrade to 7.3.4."
"LogRhythm's SOAR and NDR features don't stack up well against competitors. maybe integrating theme functionality as the other do. But in general, it's okay."
"The challenges are being spread out and using some of the technology that we do use, which are not easily integrated into the SIEM."
"Retrieving logs that have been archived can be a difficult and time consuming process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that there are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product...The pricing of LogRhythm Axon falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"If you don't have your staff, absolutely look into the co-pilot and factor that into your cost evaluation."
"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"I would rate the tool's pricing around eight out of ten."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"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."
"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."
