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.

Offers remediation capabilities and provides a bird's-eye view of events happening in your environment, summarizing critical events that need attention
One drawback is that it becomes so easy to use that users may lose the habit of manual checks and balances. As a security person, you should always worry about potential threats. If you have a very useful and easy tool, you might lose the ability to think differently and critically. For example, in a group of ten people, if nine think the same way and one thinks differently, you should consider the tenth person's perspective because they might have valuable insights. Having a great product is not always beneficial because you may become too dependent on it, which can be problematic in the long term. If you lose your critical thinking skills, you might not recognize when something abnormal is happening. While the system will notice, systems can have their own challenges and issues. I'm not criticizing the product itself but emphasizing the importance of not being overly dependent on machines. Similar to what we see with Tesla cars, no matter how advanced, there is always a chance things may not work as expected. So, the users need to prepare for that eventuality. Seceon Open Threat Management Platform has some add-ons that they sell as part of the whole suite, but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially get more business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."
"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform provides a more straightforward implementation that is better than Splunk and offers an AI-based platform with machine learning and deep learning capabilities."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"If we compare the solution with other SIEM solutions that are also turning to artificial intelligence, this will be the number one choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."
"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
