ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Reviews

I use ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for notification of server errors. It analyzes all the event logs and I can set up reports to notify me at certain thresholds, such as disk space, or other metrics on the servers.

Previously we had two different companies looking at our servers, monitoring our servers. Now we can monitor everything with our own IT team.

The notifications from ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer have helped us cut back on third-party vendors overseeing our servers.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs.

You are able to update the solution if you want newer features because they keep adding to it, then you have to download the updates. In my previous job, I've had it up and running for three years without any updates because I liked the way it looked and it did exactly what I wanted.

The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for approximately 20 years.

I have ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer on a 2019 server and I haven't had an issue with it at all.

The solution is scalable. I can add more servers and choose to have them be monitored or not, the process is painless.

There are two people who have access to the solution and use it. This solution is extensively being used in my organization. As we add new servers I will add the server to the monitor list of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer.

I had an issue while I was trying to customize a report. I contacted the support and they were very responsive and quick to action, they showed me exactly how to set those custom reports. The support is quick and very good.

I have previously used Zabbix, Microsoft MOM, or system management. ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage. I felt it best suited the use case we had.

The installation is extremely easy. A few mouse clicks and you are ready to go. It merges in with Active Directory and it will search active directory and find your servers. You then can specify which ones you want it to monitor.

The time it took for the whole implementation process with configuration was approximately 45 minutes.

I did the implementation myself.

I do the management of the solution.

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license.

If I want to carry support and upgrades after the first year, then I would have to pay for that, but if I don't want the support or upgrades, then there are no additional fees.

My advice to others is this solution is pretty straightforward. It's a basic product that does what it needs to do. It monitors servers, it is a good product.

There are other solutions that are out there, but the total cost of ownership was lower on this ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer than other solutions. Nothing's perfect, especially in server monitoring. We chose this solution because I knew what it did and it does what I want for a lower cost. I do not have to mess around with other solutions wasting time when I know this one works well.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer a seven out of ten.

I use it for infrastructure management and also day in day out for the monitoring of firewalls and our logs. I also use it as my security operation center. 

The log management has helped to improve my organization. 

The ticketing feature is valuable. We also like that it's easy to use and things are clearly defined. 

The management is very easy.

There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple. We need to have a lot of support to manage them and customize them. We would like for it to have the ability to be automated as opposed to us needing to contact support and get their help.

It is stable. We haven't had any issues. It hasn't crashed or anything of that sort.

Scalability is good. 

We have a lot of contact with their customer support and they have been responsive. 

The initial setup was not complex but it was a bit technical. 

Deployment took around three to four months. We needed one implementation manager and three teammates to help with the implementation. 

We require three staff members for the maintenance. We have around fifteen users including the CTO, IT and security managers.

I had local vendor support for the deployment. They were good. They understood the product and were good at implementing it. Management and day to day servicing, though, is a challenge. 

We did a POC with SolarWinds. 

It's a good product straight out of the box. It's a fairly easy solution to implement. It's ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation. It is a full-function SIEM solution.

The user interface is very good. 

ManageEngine is open to new feature requests and always considers them. Additionally, they have can develop tailor-made fixes for our customers.

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for approximately 17 years.

The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution.

We have very strong technical support from the headquarters of ManageEngine. They are highly skilled and knowledgeable here in Turkey.

The installation is straightforward but the implementation takes some work.

The time it takes for the implementation depends on the resource count. We have completed it in half a day.

We have one manager, two consultants, one solution architect, and many other technicians that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually.

I would strongly recommend this solution.

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyze a nine out of ten.

We employ the latest version.

The solution is used for capturing event logs, such as alerts, for network devices. It directs us to the source. 

We use the solution because it is granular. 

The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device. 

I have been using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for close to five years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

For the moment, our usage is fine. We do have plans to increase it, but not at present. 

I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them. 

In my position at this organization, I am not familiar with the use of any other solutions prior to the current one. 

The installation is straightforward.

It did not take long, a maximum of two hours. 

There is a yearly subscription for the solution. 

There are 150 users making use of the solution. 

I would definitely recommend the solution to others. 

I rate ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer as an eight out of ten.
