Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
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.

Has fulfilled regulatory requirements through centralized log management
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 dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The support system is very good."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"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 product is very user-friendly."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"We can use a single toolchain for more than one purpose altogether and manage them from one administrative console."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"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 basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"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."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"We are always facing more difficulties right now because we are learning."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"ManageEngine Log360 could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"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 solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly subscription for 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."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"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."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
