Dynatrace and Darktrace are some of the competitors of LogRhythm. I don't have any inputs to provide if we speak about the comparison between Dynatrace, Darktrace, and LogRhythm.

We're upgrading from the old version to the new version. Then I did some research on the Network Monitor box and saw some potential there for use cases. I sold it to my management and showed them what we could do with the Freemium version first.

From there, once I showed the use case and the value there, we were able to move forward and purchase the nice nice big appliance.

Because we're government, if it's existing we can do the upgrade process, but if we wanted to switch vendors it's more of a RFP process, very arduous and long. We knew we wanted to stick with LogRhythm, but there was an opportunity for us to look at new use cases and new capabilities that we spin up.

IBM's QRadar was there, and Splunk was the other.

What really sold us beyond everything that we've talked about, was the single pane of glass that LogRhythm gave us. Candidly, it was the Web UI Dashboard. The executive dashboard that I could put in front of my VP, I could put in front of my C-level to say, "Here. You can log into this, you can look at it. It gives you all of the high level rolled up information." That was incredibly difficult to come by with some of the other products.
