What is LogPoint?

LogPoint detects, analyzes and responds to threats within an organization’s data for faster security investigations. LogPoint is dedicated to helping overloaded security analysts work more efficiently with accelerated detection and response. LogPoint's SIEM solution with UEBA provides users with analytics and ML-driven automation capabilities designed to enable customers to securely build, manage and effectively transform their businesses. The licensing model is flat and based on nodes rather than data volume, giving businesses a predictable price that helps reduce the cost of deploying a SIEM solution on-premise, in the cloud or as an MSSP. The solution integrates with all network devices, so users get a holistic and correlated overview of events in an IT infrastructure. LogPoint SIEM translates all data into one common language so it is possible to compare events across systems. Having a common language enables users to better search, analyze and report on data. When it comes to compliance LogPoint enables automatic monitoring of relevant compliance parameters and alerts users to relevant risks as they happen.

Usability

LogPoint requires an investment of time and effort to get going, but that investment will be rewarded

Pros

  • Log storage - depending on the value of the data, you can specify different retention periods.
  • Log enrichment - LogPoint can use various sources, such as Active Directory and threat intelligence feeds, to enrich logs and make them more useful.
  • Correlation - you can write complex search queries that bring in information from multiple log sources.
  • Alerting - any search can be used to configure an automatic alert, triggering an email if an event is detected, or passes a set threshold.
  • Support - LogPoint support is always incredibly helpful.

Cons

  • Ease of use - some aspects of LogPoint are difficult to find, hidden away in parts of the product that are not intuitive. For example, you have to go into the Knowledge Base to find the alert rules you've set up.
  • User community - the user community for LogPoint does not seem to be as large or active as some of their competitors.
  • UEBA - so far the UEBA functionality has not generated any usable insights for us.
