We performed a comparison between Graylog and ManageEngine Log360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"Open source and user friendly."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"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."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
