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.

Integration capabilities impress while room for improvement exists in cloud compatibility

1. Enhanced Cloud Integration Current Gap: Log360 lacks native integration with Microsoft Intune and cloud-based Active Directory (Azure AD), limiting visibility for organizations transitioning to hybrid or fully cloud environments. Requested Improvements: Direct Intune Log Collection: Ability to ingest and correlate logs from Intune-managed devices to monitor compliance, device health, and security policies. Azure AD Deep Integration: Support for Azure AD audit logs, conditional access events, and identity protection alerts to provide end-to-end visibility. Cloud Workload Monitoring: Extend coverage to SaaS applications (e.g., Microsoft 365, AWS, GCP) for unified threat detection. Why It Matters: Many clients have migrated from on-prem AD to cloud-first setups this year. Without cloud-native log collection, critical security events (e.g., rogue Intune policies or Azure AD breaches) go unmonitored. 2. Improved Automation and Response Current Gap: Limited automated remediation (e.g., auto-isolating compromised devices) forces manual intervention. Requested Features: Playbook Automation: Pre-built workflows to auto-resolve common issues (e.g., disabling users after brute-force attacks). SOAR Integration: APIs to connect with SIEM/SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk, Palo Alto Cortex) for escalated threat response.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a good and stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"Our customer acquires the complete report which is kept for future auditing purposes."

"Alerting upon file changes is the most valuable aspect of the product."

"The reports that you can run are really nice."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."

"ManageEngine Log360 could integrate with all systems, making it possible to integrate everything to the central location, which made it a useful and necessary tool."

"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."

"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."

"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."

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

Cons

"Whenever someone cuts and paste, it shows as "file is deleted"."

"The updates management and central management console could be improved."

"The DLP function, including installation of the agent on the workstation and controlling the DLP restrictions, are areas where the product lacks."

"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."

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

"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."

"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."

"Their technical support should be improved."

"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."

"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."

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

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."

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

"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."

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
