We performed a comparison between Logpoint and SolarWinds Security Event Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"The solution helps me to go back in time and search for different events. For example, if you wanted to know who activated an account; you could go back in time and find out."
"SolarWinds Security Event Manager has been generally working well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"It performs network behavior monitoring, log monitoring, and disaster recovery monitoring."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"Logpoint is not flexible. Its documentation is not user-friendly."
"Nowadays the trend is going towards the ransomware and the endpoint detection and response. So if they added something for that, that will be very, very good."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"Under the new system, it is not upgradable the way they say. When you try to do an upgrade, it doesn't really work unless you dump everything and start from scratch. You lose a lot of your nodes. Whenever you set your nodes up and everything else, they don't want to bring those nodes back in, so you have to really go back and restructure all your nodes. I went from version 6.5 to version 6.6 and then to version 6.7. I then went to version 2019, and now it is version 2020. It would be good if we can upgrade without having to delete everything and start from scratch. They can maybe build more KPIs and other things for the dashboard. Some of the other systems already have built-in KPIs. SolarWinds is starting to catch up, but it is not there yet. They can include some of the business or industry standards for tracking the time, that is, the meantime to detect (MTTD) and the meantime to resolve (MTTR). They can also find a way to build a KPI that measures the number of instances of port scans experienced in a week or a month."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
