Better, in more ways than one

Explore the features of the BluSapphire solution as they compare with equivalent features in LogRhythm

BluSapphire
LogRhythm
Architecture
Open data platform with native threat detection functionalities and agentless architecture. Our Big Data lake enables seamless correlation and effortless log ingestion welcoming third-party solution management, making triage through the BluSapphire platform easy. With our multi-tenant architecture, cross-intelligence sharing becomes effortless. Discover our comprehensive in-house threat detection and response functionality.
LogRhythm is a SIEM-based, monolithic with modular components. It handles ingestion of logs across multiple sources but has scalability challenges for large datasets.
Deployment
Sensor, Log Collector - A simple VM or commodity hardware to ingest network traffic.No Firewall ports to open if outbound communication is open for all.Less than 2% of Network bandwidth consumption. BluSapphire's components do not sit in line hence, no risk of outage.
It typically provides on-premise deployment which requires dedicated appliances or VMs. Also has an agent-based deployment option- alternatively a more time-consuming setup.
Detection
The Comprehensive One platform eliminates security operations silos by seamlessly integrating native threat detection components and consolidating third-party telemetry. With effortless triage capabilities, it incorporates Native Threat detection components built on NBAD, UEBA, EDR, Deception.
The platform offers strong log-based detection and behavior analytics but lacks native NBAD capabilities. It integrates with third-party systems.
Advanced Analytics
The open platform enables seamless data ingestion from any third-party source. BluSapphire's data lake operates on an open schema, ensuring a consistent data structure across different onboarded sources. This common schema facilitates efficient data management and analysis, simplifying the handling of complex data. The horizontally scalable data lake allows unrestricted data ingestion, with no limits commercially on the number of queries or dashboards for analysis and problem-solving purposes.
LogRhythm has a strong in log correlation and anomaly detection, but challenges arise with scaling analytics for larger datasets.
Response
Response functions are distributed across various components including endpoints, networks, Active Directory (AD), third-party security, and network devices or applications. There are no restrictions when working with Third Party APIs to execute response functions. REST APIs are available to facilitate seamless data exchange with third-party systems.
The platform has includes basic response automation through its SOAR component but is still largely dependent on manual intervention.
XDR
The Hybrid XDR solution is built from the ground up with native components along with Third Party integrations, providing a unified platform to detect malicious signals across cloud, endpoints, users, and networks. By significantly reducing false positives, it greatly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations.
It provides partial XDR capabilities through integration with various third-party systems.
Threat Hunt
Experience industry-first agent-less hunts directly on hosts. Eliminate the risk of overlooking any artifacts during hunt exercises. Execute hunts guided by the MITRE framework and hypotheses. Create and search for your own indicators/artifacts without limitations. BluSapphire offers meticulously curated threat intelligence from over 110+ sources. You are also free to consume threat intelligence of your choice. Effortlessly conduct hunts on data stored in your data lake.
LogRhythm has a basic log-based hunting with correlation rules but lacks advanced behavioral or agentless capabilities.
Remote Forensics
Can fetch remote forensics real time from computer devices while staying completely agentless enabling analysts for analysis and or build assurance.
Has a basic post-incident forensics, requiring manual intervention.
Managed Detection and Response
Powered by BluHawk team - offers you a dedicated Point of contact and access to professional analyst, threat hunters, Incident response teams.
The platform has a MDR offering but is less flexible compared to BluSapphire.
Unlimited Storage
Offers unlimited hot data storage. In Addition, BluSapphire offers flexibility in storing your data within your AWS S3 / Azure Blurb. Your data, your control at an affordable cost.
The platform is limited by storage costs, with data retention requiring additional investment.
Contract Flexibility
No Contacting anymore - no lock-in. Pay monthly, move on if you do not like.
Requires annual contracts; and so flexibility is limited.
Time to Value
(Deployment + Tune + Ops Timeline)
Deployment closes in <48 hours, tune up & system operational in 3 days.
The ‘Time-to-Value’ component is similar to Q-Radar - time-intensive setup and tuning.
Interoperability
Open to work with any existing technology deployed within the organisation. With or without integration.
Supports third-party integrations but with limited flexibility.
TCO
Low, One platform offers you holistic coverage by identification of threat signals across user, network, cloud.
Moderate to high TCO, depending on deployment size.
ROI
High, On Average >145%
ROI is lower due to high maintenance and operational efforts.
