We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"File Integrity Monitoring is really valuable because we have it set up on our core assets. This is one of the key features that I utilize. We also use it quite a lot for event management to do reporting."
"I would rate the product a ten out of ten. The solution is very user-friendly and straightforward. The tool's report customization is interesting."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"The PCI compliance pieces that help us produce reports for our external auditor, and their support."
"The ability for me to go into the Web UI, and just learn what's going on in my environment."
"As a SIEM, probably the best feature is that it can be tuned effectively. There are very few SIEMs out there that can be effectively tuned to provide you with meaningful information and not be overwhelmed."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operations issues which need to be addressed."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"We do about 750 million a day and some days we do 715 million. Some days we do 820 million or 1.2 billion. But there's no way to drill in and find out: "Where did I get 400,000 extra logs today?" What was going on in my environment that I was able to absorb that peak? I have no way to identify it without running reports, which will produce a long-running PDF that I have to somehow compare to another long-running PDF... I would like to see like profiling behavior awareness around systems like they've been gunned to do around users with UEBA."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"I would like to see more integration with more products that are out there within the same security field."
"One of the challenges of the SIEM for the LogRhythm 7 platform is the amount of time it takes to bring new log sources into the MDI."
"It's not easy for someone new to the solution."
"Technical support could use a little work in the terms of responding back. The feedback that we received is they do need a little more staff."
"One area for improvement in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's a Windows-based tool, and I feel it should be on the Linux operating system instead. Another area for improvement in the tool is the UI. There should be minor changes in the UI to make it better, though I like the dashboards in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM."
"The installation was a bit complex because we are running a virtual infrastructure."
"Technical support should be improved."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
