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 feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"ManageEngine Log360 could integrate with all systems, making it possible to integrate everything to the central location, which made it a useful and necessary tool."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The support provided is fantastic, and ManageEngine Log360 provides the same capabilities that were being enjoyed with AlienVault while suiting the budget and providing what is needed."
"If the client does not have much knowledge regarding the SOC and cyber, then ManageEngine Log360 is good because you can get default reports."
"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."
"We can use a single toolchain for more than one purpose altogether and manage them from one administrative console."
"Record videos that have a very small file size Management interface is very convenient and intuitive"
"It resolved security issues of the organization by providing audit reports and records to our customers."
"Meta data search Alert generation."
"All my clients are very pleased with this product as it helps them to keep track of what partners and employees are doing on the servers."
"Overall, it gives a consistent and really good return on investment."
"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."
"Customer Service: The ObserveIT professional services team has been excellent, extremely engaged and genuinely concerned with our success."
 

Cons

"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The backup process is not that easy and not that straightforward."
"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."
"The tool is still not providing records of tunnels established - we would like to see it in future versions."
"OCR capability, support for Mainframe, Ticketing and Incident workflow."
"I had some problems with an instance of ObserveIT in a Proof of Concept, when I installed ObserveIT with an SQL Express instance and the DB used all provisioned space."
"Ticketing and issue management. Based on the new system, one needs to go through the sales people."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"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."
