AntoSebastin - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.

Pros

"Alerting upon file changes is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"Our customer acquires the complete report which is kept for future auditing purposes."
"It is a good and stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The product is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The DLP function, including installation of the agent on the workstation and controlling the DLP restrictions, are areas where the product lacks."
"Whenever someone cuts and paste, it shows as "file is deleted"."
"The updates management and central management console could be improved."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FileAudit provides a trial license for 30 days, and after that, customers can choose between perpetual licensing or the annual-based licensing option offered by FileAudit."
"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."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
