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…

Really scalable for enterprise customers
The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms. The API is nearly open and scalable, so the solution can integrate with many platforms. The solution has more than 200 log sources in the scalability to support, but this is its limit. Installation is pretty easy. However, there are a couple of modules involved, so it is not as easy as it could be. We are talking about a distributed module, not a single-module type. This is what makes things a bit complex, instead of easier. I rate it as a seven out of ten on its installation and configuration capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"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."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
 

Cons

"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
