ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Reviews

I find this solution useful for IT devices as a live stream to work with Syshun, serving as both the router and the target. All activities are logged, and they can be accessed within one console. 

The report for a flight can be analyzed, making it useful for monitoring user activity. The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks. A comparative report can be accessed as well. 

Activity monitoring allows logging and monitoring through EventLog Analyzer that collects all IT products. This makes the licensing clean for all IT devices, capturing all logs and showing a comparative report.

Even now, it's a part of Log 360, Log Management Solutions, and it includes Bandwidth, like Log 360. 

We already sold it last year to two companies, including OnePifu in Bangladesh, at the enterprise level. 

The solution is correctly used, and our team functions with alerts that can be shown on the dashboard. If targeted activities occur, alerts can be sent to an assigned person. 

I can clarify multiple roles, and assigned engineers can receive notifications without logging in through any reachable server. I've set a lot of rules, allowing engineers to handle alerts easily.

Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

I logged Event Log Analyzer, and it is already mentioned. As a bank package, it includes UEBA, User Entity and Behavior Analytics, and in the AuditClass, one feature is the Advanced Process Analyzer. 

We deployed a Log 360 EventLog package. When we deploy it, we can do so smartly and easily with activity activation. Deployment is very easy, and within one to seven days, the process is complete. We did not face any big issues.

The solution is stable.

This solution is very scalable. The product is available on both cloud and on-premises platforms. The Azure migration system is efficient. This is SQL, and there is no issue.

The support system is very good. We don't encounter any horrible issues, and it is well handled.

The information process is very easy. You can install it in GUI mode and then go to the agent or agentless setup. Just configure it to easily get logs without any hassle. The installation process is very easy.

This production site is medium range yet good.

I rate the solution at seven out of ten. 

We use ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer to collect logs from all our IT assets, including servers and databases. We utilize these logs to detect triggers, alerts, or security incidents related to Dell devices.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer has excellent functionality. The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports. This makes it easy for users to produce reports efficiently.

There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties. Currently, we're deploying it using agents, which push the logs to the console. There could be enhancements to simplify the setup and collection process in the future.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for two years.

The ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer sometimes experiences slow loading. I'm uncertain whether the server capacity, either on the vendor's end or within our infrastructure, is reaching its limit.

The solution’s scalability is good.

Only I am using the solution. We have 40 servers.

Sometimes, issues may not be resolved. We try to connect to the on-premises environment through the agent.

Neutral

Since our management was undertaking two major projects, We sought a tool to capture logs and provide robust analysis capabilities efficiently.

The initial setup is easy and takes one week to complete.

The purpose of using this solution is to manage and analyze event logs effectively. It helps address issues and prepare for potential incidents. It may not directly benefit us in terms of financial savings

The solution's pricing is reasonable.

We monitor the logs for auditing to generate reports for administrators and other users. I utilize ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer with its full suite of features. Its installation on-premises provides extensive capabilities for managing logs.

Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

We use the solution for identity management, we are using Windows Active directory. We used to see if there is any malicious item, or if somebody is trying to elevate to administrative privileges, then we also use it to monitor confidential data. We have confidential data stored in our file servers, so we see which are all the users who tried to access, or tried to delete or modify those confidential files. We keep track of those things.

It is easy to adopt. I don't have hands-on experience in implementing it, however, when talking to the security team, it was clear they were able to install the product and start using it quickly. It was also quick to learn the basics. 

It is stable.  

The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations. We are not able to implement certain aspects. 

The scalability is limited. 

I've used the solution for close to four years. 

We don't have any issues with stability. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The scalability depends. We have to add memory. It is scalable to that extent. However, it is not dynamically scalable in the way it would be in the cloud. Since this is an on-premises implementation, the scalability is limited. 

We have about 2,000 users. 

We have two SOC analysts who use it to generate reports and send them to the appropriate managers. They handle maintenance as well, and if there is a new rule that is needed, they can create it. 

Technical support is responsive. They have support services in Chennai. Whenever we request them, we get a prompt response. Since we are in South East Asia, the time difference is minimal. 

Positive

This is the first time we have used SIEM, and it's the only product that we have used.

We already used some other products of ManageEngine, and we came to know that they also have a SIEM product, so we wanted to try it. Now, we want to increase our SOC capability, so we're looking for some other products, like IBM QRadar.

The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team. It was very fast to get it up and running. The management team supported the process, and everything went very smoothly.

We don't just have to set up the software. We have to configure the rules for the use cases as well. We defined our requirements as per the company requirements.

The security team handled the setup. We had a third party assist us. 

We have a yearly subscription that we must renew annually.

I cannot recall the exact cost. If a company is an SMB, a small and medium business, this is more of an economical solution. We initially spent around 1.5 million Indian Rupees when we purchased it. It's good for beginners.

We are a customer. 

For new users, I would advise that the company has to sort out the requirements clearly and they have to discuss with their team to see what requirements can be addressed using this product, and then they have to decide if the product would work for them.

ManageEngine also has other products Cloud 360+. We haven't used it, so I'm not able to give more information on that. I don't know what features they have in their current lineup. They have some add-on modules, however, we didn't get a chance to review or implement those products yet.

I'd rate the product six out of ten. While it meets our requirements.

We use ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for remote logging.

The tool's reports show activities.

I would like to see more detailed reports.

I have been working with the product for two years.

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten.

I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer an eight out of ten.

We have a PCI DSS standard environment and a centralized login server. We are using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for all of the logins. We have the firewalls, such as Fortinet, and many other devices sending their logs through this solution.

The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration.

Support could improve to make the solution better.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for approximately four years.

Our DevOps team is using the solution. We use the solution on a daily basis.

I rate the scalability of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a five out of ten.

The support could improve in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer.

There have been times when we connected to support and they were not available. Additionally, the knowledge base of the agents could improve.

I rate the support from ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a four out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is not easy or difficult, it is of a medium level of difficulty.

I rate the initial setup of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a six out of ten.

The vendor did the deployment of the solution.

We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions.

There can be additional costs, but it depends on the servers and systems you have. If you have five servers but have a firewall Linux system and a web server you will have to pay for seven servers. The pricing model could improve.

I rate the price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a seven out of ten.

We evaluated other solutions, such as an open-source solution. We chose ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer because it was less expensive and we were recommended to use this solution by our auditor.

This solution provided each and every feature we required.

My advice to others is it is a good solution with helpful features and is priced well.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a seven out of ten.

What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team.

What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better.

I've been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for around six years.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a very stable solution.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a scalable solution.

Our experience with the technical support for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was very good. They understood our problems and gave us solutions. It took some time for them to solve problems, but they were there to provide solutions to our issues.

I would rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer support as five out of five.

The initial setup for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer wasn't that complicated, but because of the complexity of the ecosystem, it takes time. If I were to rate the setup process for the solution, I'd give it four out of five, so not the best.

Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly, but I'm with the technical department, not the procurement department, so I'm unable to give pricing information.

My team has less than a thousand users of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer, in particular, seven hundred users.

My company has a partnership with ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer.

My advice for anyone looking to implement ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is that it's good to implement. If you're looking for a single solution that's multipurpose and can be used for change management, incident management, patching, and ticketing, consider ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer. You can get an entire suite of applications from ManageEngine and more modules that are easy to integrate, so that's the best part.

I'm rating ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer nine out of ten, and it's not a ten because the solution still needs more automation and more AI. It's a good solution currently, but it needs to be more futuristic.

I use ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for notification of server errors. It analyzes all the event logs and I can set up reports to notify me at certain thresholds, such as disk space, or other metrics on the servers.

Previously we had two different companies looking at our servers, monitoring our servers. Now we can monitor everything with our own IT team.

The notifications from ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer have helped us cut back on third-party vendors overseeing our servers.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs.

You are able to update the solution if you want newer features because they keep adding to it, then you have to download the updates. In my previous job, I've had it up and running for three years without any updates because I liked the way it looked and it did exactly what I wanted.

The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for approximately 20 years.

I have ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer on a 2019 server and I haven't had an issue with it at all.

The solution is scalable. I can add more servers and choose to have them be monitored or not, the process is painless.

There are two people who have access to the solution and use it. This solution is extensively being used in my organization. As we add new servers I will add the server to the monitor list of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer.

I had an issue while I was trying to customize a report. I contacted the support and they were very responsive and quick to action, they showed me exactly how to set those custom reports. The support is quick and very good.

I have previously used Zabbix, Microsoft MOM, or system management. ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage. I felt it best suited the use case we had.

The installation is extremely easy. A few mouse clicks and you are ready to go. It merges in with Active Directory and it will search active directory and find your servers. You then can specify which ones you want it to monitor.

The time it took for the whole implementation process with configuration was approximately 45 minutes.

I did the implementation myself.

I do the management of the solution.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license.

If I want to carry support and upgrades after the first year, then I would have to pay for that, but if I don't want the support or upgrades, then there are no additional fees.

My advice to others is this solution is pretty straightforward. It's a basic product that does what it needs to do. It monitors servers, it is a good product.

There are other solutions that are out there, but the total cost of ownership was lower on this ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer than other solutions. Nothing's perfect, especially in server monitoring. We chose this solution because I knew what it did and it does what I want for a lower cost. I do not have to mess around with other solutions wasting time when I know this one works well.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a seven out of ten.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation. It is a full-function SIEM solution.

The user interface is very good. 

ManageEngine is open to new feature requests and always considers them. Additionally, they have can develop tailor-made fixes for our customers.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for approximately 17 years.

The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution.

We have very strong technical support from the headquarters of ManageEngine. They are highly skilled and knowledgeable here in Turkey.

The installation is straightforward but the implementation takes some work.

The time it takes for the implementation depends on the resource count. We have completed it in half a day.

We have one manager, two consultants, one solution architect, and many other technicians that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually.

I would strongly recommend this solution.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyze a nine out of ten.

I've used the solution for a short time. I had to look at it and some other options to see which would fit the use case. We wanted to test it on our networks.

I used the solution alongside others to run some tests for a client, and they decided which solution they wanted to use.

The monitoring is very good.

It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use.

The solution centralizes logs well. It makes management easy.

Overall, it is a very good solution. However, our clients decided to use a different solution. 

It may not be as easy to use as Splunk. 

I'm not sure if there is enough integration. I'm not sure what other product may join with it. 

I've used the solution for maybe one month. 

I've also used Splunk. It is a very good tool. Both are very nice tools; however, clients decide which to use. They found Splunk easier.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I was pleased with the capabilities of the product. 

I use it for infrastructure management and also day in day out for the monitoring of firewalls and our logs. I also use it as my security operation center. 

The log management has helped to improve my organization. 

The ticketing feature is valuable. We also like that it's easy to use and things are clearly defined. 

The management is very easy.

There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple. We need to have a lot of support to manage them and customize them. We would like for it to have the ability to be automated as opposed to us needing to contact support and get their help.

It is stable. We haven't had any issues. It hasn't crashed or anything of that sort.

Scalability is good. 

We have a lot of contact with their customer support and they have been responsive. 

The initial setup was not complex but it was a bit technical. 

Deployment took around three to four months. We needed one implementation manager and three teammates to help with the implementation. 

We require three staff members for the maintenance. We have around fifteen users including the CTO, IT and security managers.

I had local vendor support for the deployment. They were good. They understood the product and were good at implementing it. Management and day to day servicing, though, is a challenge. 

We did a POC with SolarWinds. 

It's a good product straight out of the box. It's a fairly easy solution to implement. It's ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten.
