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…

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"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 most valuable features of AT&T AlienVault USM are the ease of management and knowledge of what is on the network of my customers. It's easy to understand the problems, and management our alarms and events."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"The solution is stable."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
 

Cons

"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."
"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The support needs improvement."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
 

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."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"It has good pricing."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
