An automated solution that helped me detect threats in less than half the time it used to take

Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network. We also got multiple kinds of logs. By running some queries from the logs, we could find and fix the anomalies in the environment. Sentinel's threat visibility was great at telling us if we had something going on in our environment. We had to set up alerts in our environment based on the logs. If we had the right alerts set up, we got notified about threats and where security was lacking, so we could also take care of that. Sentinel's threat intelligence helped us prepare and take proactive steps for potential threats before they hit. Having preparation before a threat has helped our security operations. When I was using it, I used to keep going into my dashboards and looking for any threats on a weekly basis, or maybe two or three times a week. Based on that, we would recommend certain changes to the server and infrastructure teams to block or allow some ports. Sentinel's threat intelligence helped plan security against risks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reports that you can run are really nice."

"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."

"We haven't had any stability issues."

"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."

"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 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."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."

"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."

"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."

"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."

"We can do advanced hunting queries and modify SQL queries to get desired results based on the rules triggering over the console."

"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."

"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."

"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."

More Sentinel pros

Cons

"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."

"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 solution lacks some features when compared to other products."

"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."

"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."

"Their technical support should be improved."

"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."

"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."

"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."

"It is an ancient product."

"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."

"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."

"There are still a few vendor-specific devices for which Sentinel needs to work on integration, such as Netskope devices."

"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"

"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."

More Sentinel cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

"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."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"We inquired about getting support from the vendor, Micro Focus, but the cost was very high."

"Sentinel is moderately priced."

"The solution’s pricing is aligned with its competitors."

"Sentinel is a subscription-based solution."

"We receive a pricing discount because of our ongoing partnership with Micro Focus."

"Sentinel's slightly on the expensive side."
