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.

It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."
"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 product is very user-friendly."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
 

Cons

"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."
"ManageEngine Log360 could provide more in-depth insights, particularly in reporting."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"It is cheap."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
