The alert fatigue and false positive rates have just plummeted, which is really exciting.
empow has a few areas of improvement as with any other technology, such as continuing to drive innovation in the dashboard. While we've been extremely impressed with the dashboard's ease of use, flexibility, ability to drill down deeply, and focus very intently on an area of interest, there will always be opportunities to be more innovative and open it up to a wider audience than just the operations group, for example. With reporting, there is always a desire to have custom reporting for every client of empow. Relative to keeping up with the sheer pace of cloud-native technologies, it should provide more options for clients to deploy their technologies in unique ways. This is an area that I recommend that they maintain focus.

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

"From a monitoring and incident response perspective, empow is the most valuable asset we have in our toolkit."
"As a result of the automation, we are able to manage SIEM with a small security team. I'm in a unique position where we have been growing the security organization quite rapidly over the last three and a half years. But, as a direct result of the empow transition and legacy collection of tools towards the empow platform, we've been able to keep that head count flat. We've been able to redirect a lot of the security team's time away from the wash, rinse, repeat activities of responding to alarms where we have a high degree of confidence that they will be false positives, adjusting the rules accordingly. This can be a bit frustrating for the analyst when they have to spend hours a day dealing with these types of probable false positives. So, it has helped not only us keep our headcount flat relative to the resources necessary to provide the assurances that our executives expect of us for monitoring, but allows our analyst team to spend the majority of their time doing what they love. They are spending their time meaningfully with a higher degree of confidence and enjoying getting into the incident response type activity."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"It is a very nice solution and the graphics interface speaks a lot to that."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
 

Cons

"Relative to keeping up with the sheer pace of cloud-native technologies, it should provide more options for clients to deploy their technologies in unique ways."
"Relative to keeping up with the sheer pace of cloud-native technologies, it should provide more options for clients to deploy their technologies in unique ways. This is an area that I recommend that they maintain focus."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"ManageEngine Log360 could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"The backup process is not that easy and not that straightforward."
"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."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not a stable solution. It needs improvement."
"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have to put up with any longer with these hypercomplex licensing agreements. Every time I want to add some additional reporting as a compliance centric or regulatory specific, e.g., GDPR, PCI, or Sarbanes-Oxley, many providers would have an additional license for this, which felt a bit ridiculous to me. With the simplified licensing architecture, there were no hidden "gotchas" down the road with empow. Something I have experienced with other providers that I've worked with in the past."
"With a higher degree of fidelity in the alarms, we were able to avoid adding additional resources to our teams. We take into account the cost of security resources in the market and the significantly higher fidelity from the alarms that are being generated. This drove down our costs with our MSSP. It drove down my cost for human capital internally. It drove down our need to have multiple resources supporting the underlying infrastructure and health and maintenance of empow as a platform from several resources down to one. Therefore, human capital costs were significantly reduced. Our operating expenses were significantly reduced. Our capital costs were significantly reduced while tripling our capacity and our run rate reduced. It was almost a "too good to be true" situation. Fortunately, for us, it worked out very nicely."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"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."
