LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform
1 year of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization is subject to both SOX and PCI compliance regulations. We use the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM platform as a central point of all log collection for our Windows and NIX servers as well as our network appliances. It also allows us to alert on certain events such as the use of elevated privileges.
Pros
  • Once LogRhythm is running, it's a fairly simple and quick process to get logs ingested. You can have your first log sources being parsed with 30 minutes.
  • LogRhythm is very good at parsing out Windows event logs and presenting them in an easily readable way.
  • Searching/Investing thru logs is extremely quick with LogRhythm.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
The LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform is well suited for collecting logs from Windows/NIX servers and generating alerts from certain events such as a user account being added to a privileged or administrator group. It might have issues with larger-scale deployments with regards to certain network appliances and the rate of event/log collection.

LogRhythm is a clear winner

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
LogRhythm is used throughout our organization and managed by the Information Security department
We collect logs from many systems that are important to managing our security infrastructure.
These include all of our security systems (FW, IPS, Endpoint protection), all of our AAA systems (LDAP, Radius Active Directory), as well as sytems contain data of concern.
Pros
  • Central Management and storage of logs
  • Parses all logs into a readable format
  • Correlates events from various systems to provide a consolidated view of activity
  • Alerts and alarms on various events of possible concern
Cons
  • Reports should be available in the Web Console
  • Detail contained in Alarms should be configurable to provide more or less information as applicable
  • Case in the case management module should allow investigation playbook templates
Likelihood to Recommend
LogRhythm is well suited for managing logs from disparate systems, correlating events, and providing a comprehensive view of the environment. One of its main strengths is the continuity of dashboards, drill downs in data, searches, and alarms.
All of the screens use the same format moving from module to module, making this product very intuitive to use.

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.

2 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize LogRhythm across our entire organization for log collection and security investigations. We utilize both log collectors and Syslog pulls across all Windows platforms as well as Linux systems.
Pros
  • Centralized log collection database.
  • Searching logs for security incidents.
  • Running smart responses for more routine checks via API's with other platforms.
Cons
  • Configuring log collectors could be more intuitive via the thick clients.
  • Merging the Thick and Thin client consoles would be a nice architecture change.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited If you just have Windows servers and platforms that utilize sys logging the process is relatively easy to collect logs.

LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform
1 year of experience
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.
