We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"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."
"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 feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"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 reports that you can run are really nice."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"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."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
