Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."
"The user interface is pretty good compared to other SIEM tools."
"The most useful feature that I've found so far is the search function. I like all the different ways you're able to search through metadata and the different ways you're able to correlate or search through logs to find out what's going on."
"I have found the Advanced Intelligence Engine has provided the most value to us because we can customize alarms based on our requirements and have created hundreds of alarms that notify different people for different scenarios."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"The feature that makes it usable is the web interface."
"The most valuable feature of LogRhythm for me is the ability to correlate logs throughout many different log sources."
"It allows us to automate a lot of things with a smaller team."
"NextGen SIEM's best feature is how it presents logs."
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"We would like to see more things out of the console into the web UI. I guess this is what they are doing in 7.4."
"There used to be the ability to create alarms based on message text that was included in LR Version 6.x that has been removed in LogRhythm 7.x, and on that, I would like to see it added back."
"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
"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."
"My biggest issue - I know that they say they're doing it - is that the API-building is extremely important. They keep saying it's coming, it's coming. It's not coming fast enough. I don't care if they need to double their team size to get it out there quicker, the world is already in the cloud and we can't monitor it. That's a big problem for us. My boss keeps coming to me about it. That's an issue."
"We need to get better training for things like creating code and playlists. The way it's done now takes a long time."
"When we originally got LogRhythm, their tech support was fantastic, and I loved them. Now, we don't quite get as quick of a response. I've been disappointed in the more recent tech support. When you call in, they'll say that they will get you somebody, and you'll finally get someone who will contact you back a day or so later. Whereas before, I would get help right away."
