Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Has fulfilled regulatory requirements through centralized log management
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

"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"We use the solution because it is granular."
"It is stable."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."
"The support system is very good."
"If the client does not have much knowledge regarding the SOC and cyber, then ManageEngine Log360 is good because you can get default reports."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"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."
"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."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
 

Cons

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The on-premises solution is very slow. When I move to another tab inside Log360 or in the SIEM, even if my system is running on 36 GB and with a high processor, it takes a lot of time to get into the alert page or the search page."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"ManageEngine Log360 could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"With ManageEngine, you need to actually have an idea of what you want to do with the information you're looking at. It doesn't drive you in the direction — that's a con."
