A security information and event management (SIEM) platform will advance your security operations helping you to detect threats faster, mitigate risks more efficiently, and produce measurable results — but security investments are expensive and resource intensive.

That’s why it is important to take SIEM cost, functionality, and return on investment into consideration. Know what to expect! Speak with a LogRhythm expert to compare SIEM prices.

How does LogRhythm SIEM differ from IBM QRadar SIEM?

1. LogRhythm WebUI is easy and effective to use

LogRhythm WebUI is streamlined, with easy-to-read dashboards and a simple configuration utility for creating new dashboards and adding widgets that display data quickly.

The intuitive interface is simple to navigate. Security operations center (SOC) analysts can view dashboards, monitor alarms of risk-related events, create and edit incident cases, or query for events and correlation relationships.

LogRhythm’s seamless user interface makes threat detection and response a whole lot easier.

“Performance for log searching is some of the best I have experienced, with raw log searches performing very well — this makes searching very easy, as you don’t need to provide overly specific criteria in order to return data in a timely fashion.” 

– SOC Manager Transportation

2. Get more responsive support

As a premiere SIEM vendor, LogRhythm offers Admin, Content, and Analytic Co-Pilot Services designed to help you get the maximum value out of your SIEM platform. LogRhythm strives for excellent customer service by taking a hands-on approach and going on site when needed.

Clients can accelerate threat detection and response — and maximize the effectiveness of scarce security personnel — using LogRhythm’s responsive support.

“We have had LogRhythm since January and the experience so far has been stellar. Their support is top rate, and always incredibly responsive and helpful. LogRhythm itself is also extremely easy to work with.”
