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.

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

"The tool's reports show activities."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The user interface is very good."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"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 deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"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."
"The scalability is limited."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"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."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The support needs improvement."
