Feature rich, useful web log collection, but support could improve
We have a PCI DSS standard environment and a centralized login server. We are using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for all of the logins. We have the firewalls, such as Fortinet, and many other devices sending their logs through this solution The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog…

Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.
