Good documentation and proxy support with a helpful community available for troubleshooting
It's useful that we can find unused objects. This helps us to get rid of unused objects in our database, Proxy support is valuable for us. We can apply centralized proxy settings to get additional databases when we need them. Revision history and detailed audit log is a good feature with this we can always feeling safe if somethings go wrong, I'm sure that I can go back the old one. Smart Event is a very good feature. It provides a graphical view of the traffics and provides history. The filter syntax is very good and helps control when we need it.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"It's already helped secure our organization effectively."
"Security Management gives us complete visibility into our security operations, allowing administrators to identify and address problem areas, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve efficiency. It offers detailed reports on network usage and security, which helps my company to monitor and control its security expenses."
"The reporting system provides real-time insights into the security situation and shows measures that can be taken to protect our data."
"The compliance is great."
"The support is pretty incredible. Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too."
"The product has done a great job in protecting our business network and SCADA systems."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The support system is very good."
 

Cons

"You need some technical expertise to use the solution. I don't think it's accessible to the typical end-user. You need to access the box and use some command lines or the web interface. It would be nice to have a user-friendly dashboard and comprehensive reporting."
"SD-WAN functionality could be added."
"Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality."
"Check Point Tech Support will not assist with new configurations if we encounter any issues during the configuration process."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"Even though the platform is simple, and creating security policies is a fairly quick task, creating a bulk of policies at once (ie. for a migration) could be a useful tool. This is probably possible through scripting, however, having an easy-to-use "import CSV" button would be beneficial."
"I like that the Compliance software blade is available for free with the Security Management server purchase, but it is free for only one year - after that you have to buy an additional license to continue using it. I think such an important feature is vital for the management server, and should not be licensed separately."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
