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.

A highly scalable solution that is easy to manage and super easy to set up
We use Snare for picking up Windows logs, and we used to use it for SQL as well. We had used it for Linux once or twice. We're mainly using it for Windows and Windows flat files The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows us to automate a lot of things with a smaller team."
"LogRhythm improves our organization by giving us insight into user activity and potential security threats, and our mean time to detect and respond has really improved with LogRhythm."
"We have made this the foundation of our security intelligence within our organization, and it has allowed us to detect and remediate Advanced Persistent Threats."
"This solution has improved our organization in many different ways. The biggest benefit is being able to view all information in one dashboard instead of having to look at several different applications and dashboards. I can see information across our entire environment and every aspect of our network."
"The most valuable feature of LogRhythm for me is the ability to correlate logs throughout many different log sources."
"Hands down, one of the best security platforms I've seen, easy to use, easy to scale, with huge visibility into your network so you just see everything and you see it easily."
"I would definitely recommend LogRhythm, based on my experience with it."
"LogRhythm SIEM's automated response capabilities help organizations mitigate threats through alerts based on specific use cases and monitoring requirements."
"Snare has good agents, especially for Windows."
"The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have security value."
"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."
 

Cons

"The console installation is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that needs improvement. If LogRhythm SIEM can offer a web console, it would be great."
"The main challenge with setting up LogRhythm is you cannot just put LogRhythm in and let it run."
"When we are on-prem, it's a little complicated and has a lot of challenges that the customer doesn't want."
"Definitely expansion on log parsing. There are some obscure log sources that we don't currently have parsers for."
"The SOAR capabilities need improvements as they currently require programming knowledge."
"Their ticketing system for managing cases can be improved. The current system works and gets the job done, but it is very bare-bones and basic."
"At times it gets a little clunky, or resource-intensive, but it works."
"The reporting engine is poor in comparison to other areas. It should be moved to the web interface to improve its functionality and usability."
"The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."
"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."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"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."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"I think the tool is reasonably priced. There is a need to pay per year towards the licensing costs of the tool."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"Snare has reasonable pricing."
"Snare is a cheap solution because a lot of customers are using it."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Snare's pricing a four out of ten."
