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.

Good value, easy to use, and easy to deploy
In terms of what can be improved, that is a question I think the end users can tell you better. I'm not the end-user for this system. However, I can say that it needs to be more scalable. I think they already have a good value proposition in terms of being a hybrid model, and the reporting is okay, as well. It could have better integration with other SIEMs, but this integration has to come from the SIEM side, not ObserveIT.

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 features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"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."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
