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.

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"It is stable."
"Our primary use case for this solution is detecting issues to provide customers with information."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The user interface is very good."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."

Cons

"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"The scalability is limited."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great, and additional upgrades could be included."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
