LogRhythm NextGen SIEM PlatformSplunk SOAR
Likelihood to Recommend
LogRhythm is good for providing a comprehensive view of the environment. It gives a great outline of whatever is going on in our servers and systems regarding security malfunctions. The SIEM sends real-time notifications when there are some occurrences; like creating a new user and inappropriate login attempts. It also avails a good use case that meets our HIPAA compliance.

Our company has very complex and dynamic security operations because of the large number of security tools and systems that we need to manage and coordinate. Moreover, it helps us to meet many regulatory and compliance requirements because it helps us to automate and document our security operations. We also use it to streamline our security operations and improve our response to potential threats.

Pros
  • LogRhythm is a great SIEM to learn content on because the building blocks are very intuitive and easy to implement. All of the concepts relevant to content development are literally represented as drag and drop building blocks that can be easily manipulated.
  • The statistical building blocks contain powerful anomaly detection capabilities that are extremely difficult to implement in other SIEMs or not possible at all.
  • LogRhythm does better event classification than any other SIEM by far. My team typically drops all classification schemes from default installations of SIEMs and rebuilds them from scratch. I can actually use LogRhythms event classifications in rules without worrying about excessive partial matches or correlating unwanted events.

Cons
  • While searching for log events is quick, the interface isn't as user-friendly as other SIEM products.
  • Many of the administrative/management functions are only available through the full LogRhythm desktop console, not through the web console.
  • The LogRhythm agent, when used for FIM and RIM, is very memory intensive.

  • A lack of instruction It can be difficult to contact the support staff. Limited experience from current users.
  • It takes some effort to set up and learn new technology at first. More assistance is required from the support staff. The product's price needs to go down.
  • Cost of the larger version.

LogRhythm is focused on SIEM. That is their core business. Cost of operations, feature set and ease of use. The Log Rhythm support team is outstanding. Overall reliability is good. Reporting module needs some improvement and LR is promising that there will be significant improvements in future releases.

As we already have a lot of clients being catered with Splunk SOAR and because Splunk SOAR is robust and efficient, we are already using it, and we have understood the product to a certain extent, I feel we are personally more enticed to use and scale it to a lot of business.

Usability
LogRhythm does a rather decent job of making the functionality advanced (allowing for advanced keyword & field searching, use of "AND" as well as "OR" statements in the search bar) while keeping it accessible (by not requiring a specific syntax to do quick searches). This combined with a user interface that has headings and labels that are intuitive is very helpful.

Building playbooks through the visual editor is fine for basic tasks, but once you start chaining complex logic or integrating 3rd party APIs you hit a wall that requires deep scripting knowledge.

It has APIs that are useful for integration with third party solutions as well as for absorbing large volumes of data from our servers, networks and apps. Splunk SOAR offers a variety of playbooks that we use in automating workflows for migrating data and for analyzing the data to ensure its security.

Support Rating
Support has always been fantastic for this product compared to many other support providers I've worked with. They are always very friendly and seem to be well trained and knowledgeable and never have to wait long for a solution. We usually get the issue fixed in the first call, but also we really haven't had to use support a ton so that's also a plus

Implementation Rating
  • Buy professional services.
  • Buy and implement the system if possible.
  • Remember that the end point log configuration may require other teams in your company to assist you in getting the desired logs from all resources.
  • Attend the end user and daily operations training after a period of usage so you are not overwhelmed with information on concepts not yet seen.
  • Don't be afraid to call for help during your first months of use.
  • Don't close any ticket until you are sure the expected results are verified.
  • Use the community forums to discuss issues with your peers.
  • Watch the training videos offered by L R University.

I already said that the main key insight is the knowledge of Phantom, so a detailed training for all the people involeved.

Alternatives Considered
The only thing we chose LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform for is to allow the Security Analysts to work on the dashboards which don't know much about programming and query languages but has good intuition about cyber-security. It is easy to get hands-on compared to Splunk, which has an initial learning curve before being able to start harnessing its true power. Also, the ticketing system is quite fancy and somehow shows us the recent tickets that we need to jump on, which is not in Splunk.

If you use Splunk SIEM, you might wanna use Splunk soar, too. one vendor for SIEM and SOAR, and you do not need to think about integration, etc. Easy to use if we compare to other SOARs, chat and war rooms are great, and almost every action that we need is already created in Splunk SOAR.

Return on Investment
  • We were able to retire a few older log collection platforms that we had in house. There were 2-3 systems doing the job of LogRhythm.
  • We were able to bring some part of the analysis of events back in house and not rely on third party MSS.

  • The playbooks are valuable. They are the core component. Being able to implement and build a code process to work through and scale out what we want to do is valuable
  • Before its use, analyzing each email would take at least 15 to 20 minutes, with some complex cases taking up to 30 minutes...With the automation provided by Splunk Phantom, we could significantly reduce the amount of time and human effort required to complete this task
