We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions because of a request for specialised schemes for configuration report extraction and searching. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the mailbox data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorises data based on different types, which include cold, warm and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. If suddenly someone accesses your side or an unusual traffic is recorded from a user the solution flags it very effectively."
"It allows us to automate a lot of things with a smaller team."
"Technical support is very helpful and responsive."
"Provides visibility into the network."
"Overall effectiveness is very good. I like how it is oriented to both analysts and technical support people. It's easily adopted by end users as much as by technologists."
"The ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"The PCI compliance pieces that help us produce reports for our external auditor, and their support."
"NextGen SIEM's best feature is how it presents logs."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"I would like to see our vulnerabilities counter. We will be using Tenable to fill that void right now."
"I think they probably need to, because a lot of companies are having this cloud-first strategy, where anything that's new has to go into the cloud for some reason."
"The solution is likely not the best option for a smaller organization."
"One area for improvement in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM is that it's a Windows-based tool, and I feel it should be on the Linux operating system instead. Another area for improvement in the tool is the UI. There should be minor changes in the UI to make it better, though I like the dashboards in LogRhythm NextGen SIEM."
"I would probably look for more things to go into the web console that is currently on the fat client."
"Parsing is totally controlled by LogRhythm and they do not allow any partner or any third-party to handle this part and this is a key challenge on my end."
"The customer support system is time-consuming."
"Scalability-wise, it's not that great."
"The tool is expensive."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
