Users report varied ROI from Splunk, with productivity gains and security cost savings, but costs remain a concern.

Room For Improvement

ManageEngine Log360 needs improved backup, UI, Active Directory connectivity, AI capabilities, stability, encryption, and better support.
Splunk User Behavior Analytics needs better pricing, integration, user-friendly interfaces, enhanced features, and improved scalability and infrastructure.
Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems.
Global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.
I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.
High data ingestion costs can be an issue, especially for large enterprises, as Splunk charges based on the amount of data processed.
 

Setup Cost

ManageEngine Log360 is affordable with fixed pricing, a free trial, and is suitable for flexible budgeting despite some high-cost views.
Enterprise buyers find Splunk's User Behavior Analytics costly, with variable pricing based on data, hardware, and additional applications.
The price is suitable from a perspective of different pricing options.
Reserved instances with one or three-year commitments offer lower rates, providing up to 70% savings.
Compared to all other products in the market, it is the most expensive one in all aspects including professional service and licenses, even the cloud version.
Comparing with the competitors, it's a bit expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Log360 offers user-friendly security management with analytics, compliance templates, real-time threat detection, and customizable reporting, enhancing efficiency.
Splunk User Behavior Analytics provides scalable, user-friendly threat detection with advanced analytics, machine learning, and seamless data integration and reporting.
All mandatory regulatory compliance reports are available with the integrated system, and companies can easily customize reports without coding to meet their policy or reporting requirements.
I also utilize it for anomaly detection and behavior analysis, particularly using Splunk's machine learning environment.
The dashboards themselves are nice, very good, and very helpful, but the accuracy of the data or the information that will be presented on the dashboard is something that needs to be questioned.
Features like alerts and auto report generation are valuable.

Featured Reviews

Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.
