Real-time security management with potential for enhanced training materials
I use ManageEngine Log360 to manage company alerts. It is used in the security part, looking for issues in Active Directory and performing various tasks in Office 365 Using ManageEngine Log360 has been a significant improvement for our company because it consolidates multiple tools into a single…

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The support needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
