Pros

"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."

Cons

"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"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."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"SolarWinds Log Analyzer should deliver more integrated products so you can manage the console and easily configure the solution."
