We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

The alerting capabilities in ManageEngine Log360 needed work for creating alarms for the cases where alarms were needed and for prioritizing the alarms for criticality. ManageEngine Log360 uses PostgreSQL as its own database but does not automatically parse and allow creation of alarms the way it does in MS SQL. There is less support in PostgreSQL than in MS SQL. The ability to create alarms based on parsed data in the same way MS SQL does would have been beneficial and would have saved considerable time. On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work. This support is needed, and I am sure many companies need this support on PostgreSQL. MS SQL features that were missing in ManageEngine Log360 that should be included in the future are those that automatically parse an MS SQL database and provide options for setting alarms. On the PostgreSQL side, this is not the same. At minimum, PostgreSQL support should reach the MS SQL level of features and support that ManageEngine Log360 presents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."
"The support provided is fantastic, and ManageEngine Log360 provides the same capabilities that were being enjoyed with AlienVault while suiting the budget and providing what is needed."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidating of the reports, being able to take action and send them to email several addresses."
"The reports that you can run are really nice; they give you a lot of standard reports, which are nice, and the ability to run some custom ones, too."
 

Cons

"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
"ManageEngine Log360 could provide more in-depth insights, particularly in reporting."
"Their technical support 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."
"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."
"The on-premises solution is very slow. When I move to another tab inside Log360 or in the SIEM, even if my system is running on 36 GB and with a high processor, it takes a lot of time to get into the alert page or the search page."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The backup process is not that easy and not that straightforward."
"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"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."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
