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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere provides us with SIEM, at a low price-point and with a great array of functionality."
"The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"AlienVault provides excellent visibility into your network by combining centralized logging, host-based IDS and network IDS."
"The all-in-one source for the needs of compliance has put everything into one location without the need of other applications and tools to accomplish the tasks."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The menu system can be a little confusing, until you use it for a while."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"The search capabilities are not optimal and are going to be optimized in the next versions."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"We would love to be able to create custom rules based on a series of events, to create rule-sets where, for example, failed logins to the VPN Server are logged and then when a successful attempt follows soon after, it triggers an alarm for a Brute Force."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."
 

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."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
