You can't describe the initial setup phase of LogRhythm NetMon as a straightforward or complex one. The straightforwardness or complexities involved in the initial setup phase is something that stems from the people who are involved in the setup process. LogRhythm NetMon's initial setup phase lies somewhere between being complex and straightforward, but it is okay.

LogRhythm NetMon's deployment process is simple. To know more about the deployment process of LogRhythm NetMon, I will have to connect with the team concerned with the implementation process in my company.

The initial setup is straightforward. I was able to install the whole OS on the hardware and integrate it with my SIEM environment.

If you have had exposure to infrastructure and know how to establish or set up a server, you will be able to deploy NetMon yourself. If not, you may need one more person.

The initial setup was quite easy and very transparent, and the deployment took four hours.

Complex in the sense that I don't have much experience with SIEMs. We came from nothing. As an organization, we don't even have any experience behind the scenes. It felt very overwhelming, but the partner was able to lead us through it. From that perspective, having that person there leading us through it was relatively simple.

The initial setup for us was complex because we did not have much knowledge about this type of product.  

The initial setup was a little complex. We have to manage a lot of devices, the dashboard needs to be set up. 

The entire deployment took a little over a month. We required five to six staff members for the deployment. The staff compromises of security and forensic analysts.

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. It takes about half a day to get it all done.
