Helps to collect logs from various data sources, including hardware
I use Logstash primarily for connecting logs from hardware. This is the main use case. The second use case involves making correlations between logs from various sources.  I can collect logs from various data sources, including hardware. The product needs to improve its compatibility.  I rate…

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

"Everything aligns well with improving our organization."
"We have three or four Logstash servers for high availability."
"Logstash has numerous plugins for inputs and outputs, allowing it to work well in environments that do not contain other Elastic components."
"I can collect logs from various data sources, including hardware."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"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 reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"The product is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Elastic does not provide proper support for Logstash worldwide, and I rate their technical support as one out of ten."
"Almost all the research can be very bad. We still have a problem with importing the log system."
"We still have a problem with importing the log system."
"The product needs to improve its compatibility."
"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."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"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."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
