We performed a comparison between LogPoint and LogRhythm SIEM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: LogPoint is noted for its advanced technology and extensive log-collection, parsing, and analysis mechanisms. Users praised LogRhythm SIEM for its user-friendly centralized dashboard, strong integration capabilities, and event-filtering capabilities. LogPoint can improve its dashboard customization, resource efficiency, network hierarchy diagrams, and agent deployment. LogRhythm SIEM has the potential to improve its SOAR and NDR features, platform stability, and MDI integration. LogRhythm users requested expanded log storage, better load balancing, and streamlined search capabilities.
Service and Support: LogPoint's customer service receives high marks for its exceptional technical support and responsive engineers, but some users reported delays in receiving help from higher-level support. LogRhythm SIEM was generally praised for its helpful and knowledgeable support, although there have been occasional delays and knowledge problems.
Ease of Deployment: The complexity of LogPoint's initial setup can range from complex and time-consuming to fast and easy, depending on the user's experience and the organization’s size. LogRhythm SIEM's setup is considered to be straightforward. However, it is more time-consuming and complex for enterprise deployments involving multiple components or vendors, and users often require assistance from professional services or LogRhythm-certified engineers.
Pricing: LogPoint's fixed pricing model is seen as cost-effective and competitive. LogRhythm SIEM’s license typically includes all elements. However, enterprise customers may encounter complexities related to additional features and add-ons.
ROI: LogPoint makes costs more predictable and enables companies to generate revenue through security operation services. LogRhythm SIEM has proven to be highly valuable, delivering a significant ROI by reducing the mean time to detect and respond.
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"The features that stand out are the detection engine and its integration with multiple data sources."
"I've worked on most of the top SIEM solutions, and Sentinel has an edge in most areas. For example, it has built-in SOAR capabilities, allowing you to run playbooks automatically. Other vendors typically offer SOAR as a separate licensed solution or module, but you get it free with Sentinel. In-depth incident integration is available out of the box."
"Sentinel pricing is good"
"The AI and ML of Azure Sentinel are valuable. We can use machine learning models at the tenant level and within Office 365 and Microsoft stack. We don't need to depend upon any other connectors. It automatically provisions the native Microsoft products."
"There are a lot of things you can explore as a user. You can even go and actively hunt for threats. You can go on the offensive rather than on the defensive."
"The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"Microsoft Sentinel comes preloaded with templates for teaching and analytics rules."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."
"They basically charge you in a better way."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
"The solution's user interface is quite simple, and the integration is better than other products."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"It has centralized monitoring for our security operations. Therefore, it improves our analysts' work."
"We take in around 750 million logs a day. We have a lot of products and that would be a lot of different panes of glass that we would have to look through otherwise. By centralizing, we can triage and take steps much more quickly than if we tried to man that many interfaces that come with the products."
"The most useful feature that I've found so far is the search function. I like all the different ways you're able to search through metadata and the different ways you're able to correlate or search through logs to find out what's going on."
"Automations are very valuable. It provides the ability to automate some of our small use cases. The ability to integrate with other products that use an API is also very useful. LogRhythm has a plugin for it that we can connect and start to move down towards the path of a single pane of glass instead of having multiple or different tools."
"The user interface is good."
"It's positively affected our overall rate of efficiency."
"The PCI compliance pieces that help us produce reports for our external auditor, and their support."
"Its ability to work with all different sorts of log sources has been extremely valuable."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"Currently, the watchlist feature is being utilized, and although there have been improvements, it is still not fully optimized."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"Its documentation is not so simple. It is easy for somebody who is Microsoft certified or more closely attached to Microsoft solutions. It is not easy for those who are working on open-source platforms. There isn't a central point where everything is documented, and there is no specific training or certification."
"I would like to see more AI used in processes."
"The built-in SOAR is not really good out-of-the-box. The SOAR relies on logic apps and you almost need to have some kind of developer background to be able to make these logic apps. Most security people cannot develop anything..."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"One of the things we faced last year was that we had some memory issues with the server running. We were running them as virtual services, and we were facing some performance issues. Back then, there were some things that had already been solved at the end, but one of the small issues we had was that it was quite memory-consuming. After one upgrade that we did, we faced some performance issues."
"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"Logpoint is not flexible. Its documentation is not user-friendly."
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"I would like to see more integration with more products that are out there within the same security field."
"Sometimes, the tool fails to get the correlated events that triggered the alerts."
"There used to be the ability to create alarms based on message text that was included in LR Version 6.x that has been removed in LogRhythm 7.x, and on that, I would like to see it added back."
"Stability has probably been one area where Health Checks have not been great with the product. We have been told that they are going to improve Health Checks on product, though we do struggle with them on a daily basis."
"Scalability-wise, it's not that great."
"Only area I can think of to improve on is the proof reading and using the guides before releasing them. Out the the 20+ guides I used one had issues with wrong information in it."
"NextGen SIEM has separate rules for AI, advanced intelligence, and MP rules - it would be better to have a centralized way to write the rules and create alarms."
"The reporting on the dashboard should be improved from a management perspective. It would be helpful if they adjusted the colors and the presentation to make things clearer and easier to read."
