Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I manage multiple instances of LogRhythm for customers that my company provides managed security services for. My team provides the rules, reports, and dashboards. Analysts use it to detect and respond to threats in our customers' environments. Our customers use LogRhythm to monitor their entire organizations ranging in size from 100-10,000+ end points plus network and security devices. The primary business problems that the SIEM solves is providing a single pane of glass for security while also providing a platform for conducting correlation across the network and time.

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
  • LogRhythm absolutely needs to provide back end support for threat intelligence lists. Performing a linear search on massive lists of IPs on incoming web traffic can bring the SIEM to its knees.
  • LogRhythm should drop its entire code base for implementing lists and simply turn them into hash tables to avoid the excessive cost associated with referencing lists in rules. I haven't seen the code, but the performance suggests O(n).
  • The reporting feature is the worst of all SIEMs, luckily reports are not my primary service offering. LogRhythm should definitely revamp its reporting to be more intuitive.
Likelihood to Recommend
I have seen LogRhythm reliably deployed in both medium and large sized corporations with centralized and distributed architectures. The software performs well across all scenarios.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using LogRhythm as our enterprise-wide SIEM tool for all log ingestion. We recently (3+mo) decided to uplift the implementation to include our AWS cloud environments. We need a SIEM tool to analyze and ingest event logs.
Pros
  • Event & Log ingestion - Enterprise grade SIEM tool.
  • Ease of implementation, support, documentation, and community.
Cons
  • Support for Cloud environments is fairly limited.
  • Improved log filtering.
  • The UI is extremely outdated.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for on-prem, but not ideal for the cloud. It "works" for the cloud, but it is not optimized.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is deployed as an enterprise logging solution. It collected logs from Windows (all flavors), *nix, Cisco, Syslog, NetFlow and other sources. It provides logs that are analyzed, reported on and used in daily operational troubleshooting. It provides scheduled reports to meet the auditing and compliance needs of an HIPAA organization.
Pros
  • Great Web UI for help desk troubleshooting.
  • Identification and drilldown of authentication issues.
  • Performance trending.
  • Correlation of events.
  • Access and group policy change monitoring.
Cons
  • Reporting is based on Crystal Reports, requiring a template prior to building a report. The template once saved, cannot be edited. Repeat until you get it right.
  • Query building in the WebUI has little or no documentation.
  • Depth of training on reporting is lacking.
Likelihood to Recommend
Logging is always necessary if
1. You have audit requirements for system access
2. You need to alert and report on user activity
3. You need to troubleshoot issues
4. You want to monitor, report and alert on malicious / suspicious activity
5. You want to impress your management team with statistics...

I cannot think of any computing environment where logging is not appropriate.

LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform
6 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use LogRhythm NextGen SIEM as a centralized system log repository. We purchased the product 5 or so years back to satisfy PCI compliance as our company has to maintain level 1 PCI compliance which states that all your system logs have to be maintained in a central location. We review the logs daily via automated reports sent to our ticketing system. It helps us keep on top of issues and to maintain compliance.
Pros
  • Updated GUI interface is rather easy to use and looks nice
  • Once up and running, seems to remain that way, we don't really have any issues with it
  • Was cost effective compared to other solutions
Cons
  • Implementation is tricky, definitely requires having them do the implementation for/with you
  • The software can be overly complex at times
  • Adding a Windows server to the solution isn't hard but seems like it could be made quicker/easier
Likelihood to Recommend
I'd say LogRhythm is best suited for larger environments with hundreds of servers and network devices. For smaller businesses you could probably get by with one of the many free open source logging solutions out there, though it may be harder to get up and running without some assistance. For example many years ago when we were much smaller we used a really cheap solution called Kiwi but back then we had maybe 20 servers instead of 250+ we have today and that worked fine for those, but no way could we do that now.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our Security Team is using LogRhyhthm NextGen SIEM Platform at the University of Colorado.
This our alarming default system that parses logs from our firewall, outlook, system logs, IDS logs, and some confidential cloud data logs and displays tickets.
LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform is right for our organization as it requires no knowledge in coding or programming. Therefore non-technical users can also use this product to build rules and manage the servers.
The second benefit is the "drill down" feature that goes to the depth of the event, extracts information, and display in a very well structured manner with easy to understand visualization. It is very easy to go through and detect the problem. It also has a robust search tool for parsing through a high volume of logs.

In a nutshell, our overall incident response went a lot better than what it used to be five years ago.
Pros
  • LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform has an alarm system that generates tickets based on the event and the way it has been configured in the LogRhythm console. Let's say we have a ticket for a malicious email attachment. The ticket will some information like the source of the log, the source IP, destination IP etc. It can be drilled down to obtain specific information like the recipient, source location, file attachment name, SHA hash of the file, source and destination port, time, mac address of the machine that downloaded it etc. This helps the analysts to go to the root of the cause and take actions easily without manually parsing them.
  • The second good thing about the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform is that it is very easy to use with its well-structured interface. To use LogRhythm, an user barely require any technical skills. A little overview of IP, CIDR, hash, etc. is enough to get your hands on it. It requires no programming or coding skills, as everything is GUI based. It also provides a beautiful visualization dashboard. There is another beautiful feature that it provides for the classification of events, known as cases. Multiple users working on the same platform can create cases and add events to it. They also help to maintain future reference.
  • The third good feature is the search tool which is very powerful. For example, sometimes it is hard to find the users who downloaded a malware from the guest wireless of the institution and not the private network. The search tool helps us in searching the user by automatically correlating the MAC address from the current network logs and the previous logs as the MAC address is the same. It is highly scalable for parsing a large number of logs from various sources.
  • I particularly think this is one of the best software available for log parsing in an organization where non-technical users are working on incident response. This tool has a good amount of flexibility. However, it can only be configured with the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform Console.
  • In terms of usability, as already mentioned, it is a very easy tool to use, with a GUI based interface.
Cons
  • The LogRhyhtm NextGen SIEM Platform is good in terms of looks, but sometimes it is too sophisticated to do the simplest of tasks like, for example: counting the number of occurrences of a particular IP address in total logs for that specific day or month.
  • They can provide a simple syntax bar like Splunk, for technical users who feel a syntax-based query is more powerful than just GUI.
  • There can be a feature that can help you customize the amount of data to be displayed without "drill down." A lot of the time, it isn't worth waiting 10-15 seconds to find 5% extra required information that could be displayed easily before drilling down.
  • It doesn't have any online community or proper documentation that has a user rating on it. A lot of the times, their documentation doesn't help us.
Likelihood to Recommend
I will say that the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform is well suited for an organization that is not very big but has multiple log sources. Or a lot of non-technical employees who do not know how to code or do write custom queries. Typically it is a good fit for universities and mid-range startups. This has an excellent interface, dashboard, useful for managing roles, but it doesn't provide the level of customization that a technical person with knowledge of coding probably would prefer. Software like Splunk and Elastic Search are much more flexible in terms of the granularity of the search.
