ManageEngine Log360 Reviews

The reports that you can run are really nice. They give you a lot of standard reports, which are nice, and the ability to run some custom ones, too. It takes some intuitive thinking to use it, but overall it's generally user-friendly; although it takes some digging to find the report you're looking for — it's almost overkill by data.

They have been doing some webinars for their solutions that run-down through it, and those are actually quite helpful. What they're doing for their improvement is kind of nice. They're sending out a series of webinars and then you can log on and ask live questions to the engineers as they're taking you through the use of the product. I am actually finding that quite helpful.

I've had to go leaps and bounds, wondering where stuff was at. There's a lot of tabs to go through. There's a lot of information presented within the system and knowing where to go in it is taking that process through, like, "You go here, you look there, you see this here. Can you think of a use case where you would want to know that?" They ask those questions and they get responses in their webinars and I think that's quite valuable.

They're giving you an hour to go through it and they're covering most of the material in 45 minutes. They need to actually have the product explained a little bit better than just, "Here you go." I think Varonis is a little bit more, "Hey, these are the alerts you have." And then on the right, it drives you right to where you need to go. With ManageEngine, you need to actually have an idea of what you want to do with the information you're looking at. It doesn't drive you in the direction — that's a con. Varonis kind of drives you down. On the right, it gives you the event list and you can go through it and drive to the data on the individual alert. ManageEngine gives you the alert and then you need to know where to go. 

Because I haven't been using it long enough, I am not too sure what's missing. I am comparing it with Varonis. The two seem to be lining up a lot, but Varonis is a little bit better as it gives me real-time alerts for the file shares. It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment. I am dealing with a lot of alerts that aren't exactly valid because it just doesn't know yet.

The learning environment time is a little bit lengthy, but I think it's necessary. Since Varonis was already in the environment, I have no idea how long that took for it to learn that behavior. It's hard for me to compare the two in that aspect, but that's what I'm dealing with. That's what I would expect somebody else to be dealing with if they just got the product and they didn't have anything.

I have been using ManageEngine Log360 for the past couple of months.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give ManageEngine a rating of eight. It gives me a lot of information. Without the webinars, I'd give it a seven.

If they improved their alerting capabilities, I'd give them a higher rating. For example, "Click here to drive down, and here are the recommended steps for evaluating this alert." If it did that, I would give it a rating of ten. That's really the thing that they need. They need to drive their traffic on their platform as opposed to you having to guess where to go.

If the client does not have much knowledge regarding the SOC and cyber, then ManageEngine Log360 is good because you can get default reports.

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.

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.

The on-premises solution is very slow. When I move to another tab inside Log360 or in the SIEM, even if my system is running on 36 GB and with a high processor, it takes a lot of time to get into the alert page or the search page.

It takes a long time to load a single page. With other solutions, such as Splunk, Securonix, Wazuh, I can quickly grab the details within seconds, but with ManageEngine, it takes a lot of time.

I've been using it for about four months.

Compared to the scalability of other solutions, ManageEngine Log360's scalability is average.

I have contacted technical support, and they solved a particular issue I was facing.

The initial setup was easy and not complex. One person can handle the deployment.

The deployment was done in-house.

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.

Compared to other SIEMs, ManageEngine gives you the reports by default, which is good for small enterprises. Other solutions require one person to monitor user accounts. So, if your firm is not huge, then you can install ManageEngine Log360 to get password sharing and all other details.

I don't recommend using ManageEngine Log 360 in large organizations with more than 300 employees because they require certain compliance policies.

Overall, I would give this solution a six out of ten.

We basically utilize the tool to monitor security events based on a logon process such as bad passwords, lockout, etc.

We are using its latest version. We just upgraded it over the weekend.

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.

Its pricing should be better. Pricing is definitely a big factor for us. 

Their technical support should also be improved.

I have been using this solution for about three years.

It is pretty stable. We haven't had any problems with the system. I don't use the tool as much as my team does, so I really couldn't get into the specifics. It does what we want in terms of staying in compliance. 

I'm not too familiar with its scalability.

I haven't had very good support from those guys.

I haven't used any other products, but I've heard of products like LogRhythm and Splunk, and they seem to be supreme to this particular product that we have.

Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved.

I would rate ManageEngine Log360 a six out of 10. 

It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications.

Right now, we can't even get it to work. 

The support needs improvement.

The stability needs to be improved.

ManageEngine Log360 is not a stable solution. It needs improvement.

We have tickets in to get it fixed but we are not having a lot of luck.

I would rate ManageEngine Log360 a three out of ten.
