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

"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 reports that you can run are really nice."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"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."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
 

Cons

"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"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."
"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."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The implementation needs assistance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"The product is expensive."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
