Senior Technical Architect at T-Systems International GmbH
Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations
As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or Big Query can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings. It has default integration for all gcp services. recently managed Prometheus support gives more flexibility to organizations to remain connected with their current Prometheus setup. We leveraged integrated FinOps Hub for recommendations for our workloads and server configurations, helpd us lot in order to get maximum TCO.

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

"I would tell potential users that the current version is much nicer than the previous one."
"Google's technical support is very good."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Google Stackdriver is all about activity."
"It has really been helpful in detecting, identifying, and troubleshooting issues with cloud services used in the organization."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"It's easy to use."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"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."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data, 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."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
 

Cons

"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"Operations documentation could be a bit better. It took us some time to get up and running with it."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it."
"It could be more stable."
"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not a stable solution. It needs improvement."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"There are issues when we log into Log360 from the computer that is hosting the system. For example, Linux cannot connect or log into Log360 with the Active Directory user."
"We are always facing more difficulties right now because we are learning."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"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."
"ManageEngine Log360 could provide more in-depth insights, particularly in reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."
"We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."
"The cost could be lower."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"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."
