We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM and Trellix ESM 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."It is able to connect to an ever-growing number of platforms and systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 or Office 365, as well as to external services and systems that can be brought in and managed. We can manage on-premises infrastructure. We can manage not just the things that are running in Azure in the public cloud, but through Azure Arc and the hybrid capabilities, we can monitor on-premises servers and endpoints. We can monitor VMware infrastructure, for instance, running as part of a hybrid environment."
"Sentinel is a Microsoft product, so they provide very robust use cases and analytic groups, which are very beneficial for the security team. I also like the ability to integrate data sources into the software for on-premise and cloud-based solutions."
"Sentinel is a SIEM and SOAR tool, so its automation is the best feature; we can reduce human interaction, freeing up our human resources."
"We’ve got process improvement that's happened across multiple different fronts within the organization, within our IT organization based on this tool being in place."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The standout feature of Sentinel is that, because it's cloud-based and because it's from Microsoft, it integrates really well with all the other Microsoft products. It's really simple to set up and get going."
"I like the ability to run custom KQL queries. I don't know if that feature is specific to Sentinel. As far as I know, they are using technology built into Azure's Log Analytics app. Sentinel integrates with that, and we use this functionality heavily."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"Overall effectiveness is very good. I like how it is oriented to both analysts and technical support people. It's easily adopted by end users as much as by technologists."
"As a healthcare company, what we use it for is compliance, then to protect our data from exaltation."
"We have NetFlow information going into it, so we can examine a lot of traffic patterns and anomalies, especially if something stands out and is not the baseline. This helps a lot."
"The dashboards in the LogRhythm SIEM really help us as a starting point. It gives us a starting point we can go to every day. We walk through several dashboards to see anomalous activity for further investigation."
"The PCI compliance pieces that help us produce reports for our external auditor, and their support."
"The user interface is pretty good compared to other SIEM tools."
"We use this solution to examine disparate log sources and provide a cohesive method to search for anomalous behavior."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management. Because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals."
"If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."
"We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"There is a wider thing called Jupyter Notebooks, which is around the automation side of things. It would be good if there are playbooks that you can utilize without having to have the developer experience to do it in-house. Microsoft could provide more playbooks or more Jupyter Notebooks around MITRE ATT&CK Framework."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"The responses provided by the cloud team are inefficient."
"We use Windows Event Forwarding to collect the logs from our Windows clients, and the logs get aggregated as one data source on that collector. Therefore, finding logs specific to one particular Windows system requires some creativity in how we search the SIEM."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is currently based only on the Windows platform. This means that some of our customers have to purchase a Windows license elsewhere. If LogRhythm can move to a Linux platform or a proprietary platform, it would be very helpful."
"I would like to suggest that they should improve their usage of third party tools for making dashboards and reports. If they would create their own tools for dashboard and report, it would be much better in terms of security purposes."
"In the next release, I would certainly like to see more HIPAA compliance. I would also like to see more integration with Palo Alto Networks, particularly their Traps, which is their endpoint solution."
"When we had version 7.2.6, there were a lot of issues deploying that version and with the indexing. The indexer was unstable. So, we were not able to use the platform when we were on that version until we were able to upgrade to 7.3.4."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."
"Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface."

I cannot respond to the query as I have worked with solutions based on NetIQ and AcrSight.
1. I feel the query is very generic and can not have any tangible response other than users listing their side of the stories (experience) while tabulating Pros & Cons would be inconclusive.
2. The vendors mentioned (McAfee, Splunk, LogRhythm and IBM Q1 Labs) are from the top quadrant and are very much comparable based on evaluation parameters such as List of Features, capabilities and capacities, Integration to other corporate IT security tools etc.
3. Methodology used by Gartner for evaluation of vendors for SIEM Quadrant should also be kept in view to get a realistic comparison. I feel, its not a real Apple-to-Apple comparison nor can be used as a measure to influence the decision making for a new deployment (or migration to another vendor)
4. I also feel that vendor experiences, most of the times are dependent on how clear you are of your own Security Landscape, Compliance & Regulatory drivers and requirements.

Unfortunately while evaluating SIEM solutions I was unable to evaluate the IBM solution. I tried to work with IBM for two weeks to get an evaluation of the product and finally gave up.
I think Splunk is an incredibly diverse and flexible product; however, if you are just looking for a SIEM I think it's a bit overcomplicated.
Our company choose SolarWinds LEM due to it's ease of deployments for small to mid sized environments and we have a good track record working with SolarWinds as a vendor.
I asked this question in a previous discussion, what is your experience with the solutions?
I went to Infoworld and found some pretty interesting results - www.infoworld.com
It seems that based on price, GFI took the prize with $220/server $22/workstation.
But based on features and sheer capability, Arcsight took the prize there.
Additional findings bring up HP Arcsight, IBM Q1 Radar and McAfee Nitro as the industry leaders - Gartner Magic Quadrant from 2013 - infosecnirvana.com
But if you were to go to the comparison charts:
Cons
HP Arcsight - Complex, Suited for Medium to large deployments, learning curve, skilled employees
IBM Q1 Radar - Limited Customization, limited multitenancy support, limited use case configuration
McAfee Nitro - Very basic correlation capabilities, requires agent installs, no analytics capability, limited customization, limited support for multi-tier, multi-tenancy
There are others these seem to be the leaders in the industry.
So from the report from Gartner, Infoworld and Infosecnirvana.com, they all seem to think that HP Arcsight is the way to go

Hi,
I disgree for SME installation since Q1 is usually on a large scale
installation. While expertise on the product is still needed including
integration with other security platforms.
Splunk/LogRythm is good for Network correlation only not focusing much on the
security area.
McAfee is ok for both SME and Enterprise whilst expertise should also be
considered as they have an easy and available tool for integration with their
ticketing system, IPS, and AV.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lilet
Its is now an easy and clear answer.
It depends on the environment, the integration needed, and the staff expertise.
IBM is usually a better solution for large/very large installations and integration.
But it requires much more staff and skills.
But for smaller environments Splunk and LogRhytm is better.
McAfee is correctly rated against others.
So the answer is YES/AGREE for large installations.
And NO/DISAGREE for smaller ones.
