Robust cybersecurity with user-friendly interface, efficient threat detection through network traffic analysis, and seamless integration with threat intelligence
For new users, navigating the platform can be challenging, especially if they lack experience with the OEM or the product itself. Understanding its origin, implementation procedures, and troubleshooting database issues can pose difficulties. However, once users gain familiarity and resolve any initial problems, the overall experience becomes more positive. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Threat detection has improved and malicious emails are now identified quickly
Vectra AI offers artificial intelligence capabilities with visibility that can be integrated into our day-to-day operations and other tools, including malware detection tools and cyber threat tools. Vectra AI has positively impacted my organization. Last year while using it, we received many malicious email threats and virus incidents, including a trojan virus that had reportedly been deployed by someone. Our company used Vectra AI to detect the malicious threats and viruses before they could cause more damage, and we successfully stopped the threats. Using Vectra AI, I notice that server downtime has decreased significantly. We now experience only two to three hours of downtime, whereas without Vectra AI and other tools, our downtime would exceed 48 to 72 hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution doesn't require the creation of rules or use cases from scratch, which assists our delivery team in installation and deployment. Its dashboard is user-friendly."
"It's an excellent security tool with a user-friendly interface that's easy for anyone to use."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has reduced the time it takes us to respond to attacks."
"The fact that we get the visualization of what's happening on our network, which is a way of improving our security in-depth is most valuable."
"I can't even explain how happy we are with the amount of time it has saved us."
"We particularly like the user experience around the dashboard, which we find to be much more straightforward than the dashboard of some of the competitive products... Vectra is a really easy system to understand and use to prioritize where we need to focus our security resources."
"If I look at the value I can extract from every Euro that I spend on Vectra, and compare it to every Euro I spend on other solutions, the return on investment on Vectra is way better."
"One of the most valuable features of the platform is its ability to provide you with aggregated risk scores based on impact and certainty of threats being detected. This is both applied to individual and host detections. This is important because it enables us to use this platform to prioritize the most likely imminent threats. So, it reduces alert fatigue follow ups for security operation center analysts. It also provides us with an ability to prioritize limited resources."
"It provides various dashboards that facilitate the identification of connections and can detect data exfiltration, meaning data sent from your environment to another."
"Attack Signal Intelligence helped reduce irrelevant alerts by 80% to 90%, with metrics showing a 100-plus reduction in investigation workloads and roughly saving about 55,000 hours of investigation time."
 

Cons

"From an improvement perspective, I would like LogRhythm NDR to reduce the compute size. I would also like LogRhythm NDR to improve the pricing model."
"There are opportunities for improvement, particularly in upgrading the expertise of local professionals and addressing support issues, which could potentially lead to cost reduction."
"The tool has one limitation compared to its competitors. It does have a mobile app for NDR monitoring. Moreover, there is only operational training and not deployment training."
"We would like to see more information with the syslogs. The syslogs that they send to our SIEM are a bit short compared to what you can see. It would be helpful if they send us more data that we can incorporate into our SIEM, then can correlate with other events."
"In comparison with a lot of systems I used in the past, the false positives are really a burden because they are taking a lot of time at this moment."
"The solution has not reduced the security analyst workload in our organization because we still need to SIEM. Unfortunately, while Vectra, for us, is a brilliant tool for network investigations, giving wonderful visibility, it doesn't go the whole way to replace our SIEM that is needed for compliance. So, I still have the same amount of alerting and logging that I did before. It gives us more defined ability to see incidents, but it doesn't give us enough information to satisfy a PCI or 27001 audit."
"There could be an option where Vectra manages the solution remotely, and when there is an attack, there could be a notification center to give us information about the attack."
"I think Vectra AI's automation, reporting, and integration could be improved."
"The rules for threats are not always precise and Vectra AI should improve this."
"One area where there's room for improvement is the absence of a comprehensive TCP recording and replay feature."
"The solution's ability to reduce false positives wasn't very good, initially, because it was picking up so much information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool costs are two million rupees for 5000 users."
"There are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product yearly. The pricing of LogRhythm NDR falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
"When looking at the market and comparing it with other vendors, the cost seems relatively high."
"There are additional features that can be purchased in addition to the standard licensing fee, such as Cognito Recall and Stream."
"Vectra's pricing is too high. All schools will not be able to afford it. Vectra will only end up targeting higher education and higher value independence purely because of the price. A lot of schools would love to have a product like Vectra AI, but they simply can't because they struggle to even pay the high E5 licensing from Microsoft. When you're up against that, Vectra AI is never going to be within the sector's price range."
"The pricing is very good. It's less expensive than many of the tools out there."
"The license is based on the concurrent IP addresses that it's investigating. We have 9,800 to 10,000 IP addresses."
"It's relatively on the pricier side, but when compared to other solutions. It's not the most budget-friendly option, but it can be considered somewhat more cost-effective in comparison to other alternatives."
"Its cost is too much. It's an investment that we can afford. It's a lot, but it's worth it."
"The pricing and licensing are quite straightforward because they're based on the IP licenses. As a result, they are easy to count."
"It is an expensive solution, but it's not the most expensive we've seen. We also know how much we're going to pay, unlike with some other providers where all of a sudden our license explodes."
