Logpoint Other Advice

JK
Security Manager at Scildon

We are moving away from this solution and are looking for something automated, like Darktrace.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to first have a very clear understanding of the use cases, what you want to use it for, and what you want to report. 

Don't be afraid to look for a cloud-based solution, especially when it comes to SIEM products. It removes a lot of trouble related to internal servers and the complexity of accessing the SIEM from outside. If you have to implement your own MSA then I would suggest reconsidering any case of using an internal SIEM. Especially for smaller companies, this will provide much more value.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I'd rate LogPoint a seven out of ten. I haven't used many SIEM solutions, so I can't compare it with them, but it was good.

It depends on what you're looking for. If you really want a full-blown SIEM with all the functionality and all the correlation analysis, you might be able to find products that have more sophisticated correlations, etc. If you just want to keep your logs and be able to find information quickly within your systems, LogPoint is more than capable. It is a good cost proposition, and it works extremely well and very fast.

I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is a good cost proposition. It is a good value. It has all the functionality for what I wanted, which is my log management. I'm not using a lot of the feature sets that are very advanced. I don't need them, so I can't judge it based on those, but for my needs, it is an eight for sure.

Integrations can be done using CSV files. My team is currently working on LogRhythm. The integration of LogRhythm is quite complicated. Most of the issues we faced while working on the solution were due to the customer’s system. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

My recommendation would be for others to try LogPoint out before making a decision, because it's a fairly new company, and you'll want to give them a try before you decide to purchase.

I rate LogPoint a seven out of ten.

There are some bugs that need to be fixed.

I am just a customer and end-user.

We use various versions of the solution. The latest version was the one I was using, however, I can't recall the exact version number. 

I'd rate the product eight out of ten.

I'd advise potential new users to make sure that their use cases are designed beforehand. When you do a POC, then you need to have a success factor. People sometimes want to have a SIEM solution and then just look at the dashboard, which is total garbage. You need to know exactly what you want from that solution and if this is determined beforehand, then you can do a POC and then you will understand if the solution can deliver what you need - or not.

Knowing the market in 2022, I will not suggest on-premise implementations.

I would rate it a 7 out of 10. It is doing its job, but there is always room for improvement.

It is highly recommended. It is a solid SIEM tool. It is very dependable and well-recognized. In terms of functionality, the queries work in the same way as Splunk. The only drawback is they are predominantly a European provider. Their headquarter is in Denmark and not in the US. Most of their market is in the European Union, but nonetheless, their customer service is excellent. You can get answers to any issue or question that you have related to the implementation right away.

The learning curve is kind of on the medium side, and you need somebody on a full-time basis for UEBA.

I would rate LogPoint a nine out of 10. It only needs better documentation.

We are a reseller of the solution.

I would recommend the solution. Go with the trial version and evaluate it first, because individual tastes may differ. I'm not the end-user, I'm the reseller. We have managed to meet the customer's requirements for adhering to their compliance or getting the solution onboard to their satisfaction. In the end, however, when an end-user uses the solution, they will ultimately have a clearer idea about the pitfalls or upsides of it.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We do a combination of MSP and VAR services. We're a hybrid between the two. We are not a pure MSP. 

People don't seem to like having to pay a monthly fee whether or not people end up showing up or helping. We try to offer it as an "if you need it" basis, we can do it, but we don't have to charge you. 

We can sell them a bundle of hours, and that way they only use them when they need them, which is pretty popular with many of our clients, especially small to mid-size companies. 

We'll do a combination of, for instance, Sentinel One and Point Antivirus, which is an MSP service. It has 24-hour-a-day monitoring if they want. 

If they don't want that, we could do more of a typical kind of a semantic or any one of a number of Point Antiviruses that they want. 

We also have a Secure SIEM, it's our own product, www. securesiem.com.  If they want to have a managed SIEM service, 

We also have, for those that have next-generation firewalls, we have a product called securengf.com. That basically shores up their next-generation firewall with our managed services. We use a help desk that lets them have 24-hour responsiveness to any issues instead of just having the firewall and having to go to look online. 

This will be somebody monitoring the firewall to make sure there are no breaches.

If somebody needs wireless Wi-Fi, WLAN type of services, we can help them improve their signal strength and location of their access points.

We're using QRadar as the engine. We are working as a partner with them to have our service use QRadar to achieve the best results for our customers. I believe we use some of their services of the monitoring itself.

I would rate LogPoint an eight out of ten, because the technology seemed to be fairer to the customers, even with all the issues that I have indicated.

I would say that it's a good product. It's very stable, and the support is very good. We use it a lot. 

As I say, I'm looking to see whether or not it's still the product that we should be using or whether there's something out there now.

I would rate LogPoint an eight out of ten.

I have experience with IBM QRadar for more than three years. I also have experience with LogPoint. I've used LogRhythm as well for more than two years now.

My company is a partner of LogPoint, but first, it was a vendor, then it became a partner that collectively collaborated with LogPoint, recommending LogPoint seminars to customers.

Fifty percent of people in the organization use LogPoint, mostly security engineers. One person can handle the maintenance for LogPoint, specifically for a small organization.

As I've not used LogPoint in the last four to six months, I'm no longer updated on what changes were made to the product. If LogPoint works much better for you, then I'd recommend it. Still, if you're considering the product commercially, it's better to go with another solution that works better, with fewer issues, at least from a smaller organization standpoint.

My rating for LogPoint is four out of ten. I didn't give it a higher mark because it needs to improve in several areas, including the GUI, network hierarchy diagrams, and log optimization.

I would advise people to be aware of their needs, and test some specific use cases, so that you get the benefits from the start, because you don't gain anything out of a SIEM system, if you don't have the right amount of data, from the right sources.

I would rate this product an eight out of 10. I'm Danish so nobody gets a 10! There's always room for improvement.

Even if I bash a lot on LogPoint, I must say that it's a "bang for the buck" product. Yes, they do have a lot of problems, they will paint the landscape as the perfect world, and they will say "Yes" to a lot of questions, some of which may work and some of which may not.

If you understand your needs, if you know the size of your wallet, and talk to someone who knows this product and understands its limitations, this can be a good enough solution for you.

We are a reseller, so we recommend a variety of solutions, including this one, to our clients.

I really like the solution's licensing model. It's very useful.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten. I would recommend it to others.
