Gives a clear forecast about existing machines, and has an automation feature that helps in reducing a lot of ambiguities and managing operational efficiencies

What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."

"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."

"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."

"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 easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."

"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."

"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."

"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."

"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."

"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."

"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."

"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."

"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."

Cons

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

"Their technical support should be improved."

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

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

"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."

"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 graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."

"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."

"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."

"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."

"Technical support should be improved."

"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."

"Log retention should have more options for user control."

"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."

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."

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

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

"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."

"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."

"It is not cheap. But it is worth it."

"The product's price is reasonable, but when it comes to SQL licensing, it's a bit expensive."

"Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."

"I think it is a reasonably priced product."

"The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."

"Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
